I would say to my old comrades and the public, in presenting this little work, that I have prepared it almost wholly from memory, having taken no notes during the campaign, and errors may occur in data, but, taken altogether, it is reliable in detail. To my friend, W. H. H. Terrell, formerly Adjutant General of Indiana, I am indebted for a list of the soldiers in the Regiment, taken from his official report. There being no History of the Three Months' Campaign, and it being an important epoch in the late War of the Rebellion, I have taken the task upon myself to furnish one. A. J. G.
