Excerpt from History of E Company 37th U. S. EngineersThis volume has been prepared simply for the use of the members of this Company as a reference and in no sense is it a work for general circula tion. It represents a chronological arrangement of the Company's activities, and the Morning Report has served as a basis throughout. In attempting to record the individual stories 'of many of the details, it has been necessary to rely upon the necol lection of the supervising officers, and inaccura cies or omissions may be found. The men's diaries have been of great assistance, and I feel that, in general, the story will serve as an accurate military record. Obviously it has been impossible to mention all details and I am confident that the men will look to the volume more as a useful ref erence covering the accomplishments of the organi zation as a whole than as a record of personal achievement.In preparing the summary of our work, I have been impressed with the fact that the men have worked under very severe conditions almost con tinuously since their arrival in France, and if at times too much stress seems to have been placed upon the narration of the dangers undergone, I feel that we should be pardoned. Our story should contain the facts, and we have a just pride in our contribution to the cause. In the years to come we shall be glad to have of record the truth aboutour service, and it has been my one aim to get the facts and deal with them coldly and fairly. If the result is of any value to the men, I shall be more than glad to have had the honor of collecting and recording the information which they themselves have furnished.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
