Excerpt from History of the First Regiment of Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry in the Great War of the Berlin: With the Armies of the Ohio and Cumberland, Under Generals Morgan, Rosecrans, Thomas, Stanley and Wilson, 1862-1865<br><br>The author has endeavored to give a fair and impartial account of all the doings of the regiment from 1862 to 1865. He does not claim that his regiment put down the rebellion, or did all the fighting and none of the running. But one thing the author dwells upon, and that is, the regiment per formed its duty well, and no order was ever given to it that was not promptly executed. Its battles and large death - roll are evidence of faithful service.<br><br>The author has not attempted to go beyond the services of his own regiment in the preparation of this work, only so far as the movements of other troops with whom it served mention is made for the purpose of conveying to the reader an intelligent idea of the arduous duty performed by the regiment.<br><br>I do not claim that the work is entirely free from errors, as that would be impossible, it being over thirty-seven years since the last hostile gun was fired, and during that time much valuable information has been lost. But errors are found in all histories.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
