Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the 104th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry: From 1862 to 1865 I hzue long been impressed with the fact that time is fast obliterating the memories of the events which transpired among the rank and file of those great armies, which, in the war of The Great Slaveholders' Rebellion, finallv triumphed 0\ er treason and disunion, and placed our beloved countrv in the front rank of Christian nations, struck the shackles from four million slaves, and established the supreme authority of the Federal republic in these United States. So in the spring of began writing an account of the travels, ser\ices, and doings generallv of the 10., tth Ohio Volunteer Infantr), in that war, from August, is6z, to June 28, 1865, when the bovs were finally discharged from the service. Reminiscences of the Rebellion, as that series of papers was called, soon came to the notice of considerable numbers of ex-members of the regiment, and on August 6, at the i6th annual reunion of the regiment, a resolution was carried by which I was authorized to revise them for use as a history of the regiment. This revision is, in substance, the same material as the Reminiscences of the Rebellion, with all the incidents per sonal to im'self, and not of an historical character, carefully expunged fmm the work. Besides this I have tried to get as full and complete a roster of o icers of the regiment and of officers and soldiers of each and e\ erv company as is now possible. \vell knowing that this fails to give all there was of interest in the services of the 104th, mv only apology will be that I have tried to give a full and fair account of cvcrv incident of the regiment's historv, and that wherein I may have failed has been due to a lack of knowledge.
