Excerpt from The Seventh Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers in the War of the Rebellion, 1861 1865 In the preparation of this work, the historian's diaries, letters, and sketches written for newspapers at various times during the war and since, have formed the nucleus of the history. For over twenty years the historian has been engaged in gathering, in odd moments, the material of which the book is composed. It has been written largely outside of the hours of legitimate business, and the author has many, many times been found at his table, yet writing, when the clock striking the hour gently admonished him that another day had been ushered in.
