Excerpt from Under the Stars and Bars: Or Memories of Four Years Serving With the Oglethorpes of Augusta, GeorgiaMerry, as I am to the former also for data pertaining to the early history of the Oglethorpes.Aside from the motive already named, there is another which has had some in¿uence in inducing me to publish these memories. In the generation that has grown up since the 'oo's there is a disposition to undervalue the merits of the Old South and to discount the patriot ism and the courage, the sacrifice and the suffering of those, who wore the grey. If these pages shall recall to mv old comrades vrith any degree of pleasure. The lights and shadows of our soldier life, or shall bring to the younger generation, to whom the Old South is not even a memory, a truer conception of the tender grace of a day that is dead I shall be more than repaid for the labor involved in their preparation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
