Excerpt from Personal Recollections of the War of the Rebellion

One object of the foundation of this Order, set forth in our Constitution, is - to cherish the memories and associ ations Of the war waged in defence of the unity and indi visibility of the Republic. There is no way in which this result can be more effectually accomplished than by bringing together the personal recollections of those who took part in that great struggle. These narratives of per sonal experiences are interesting, not only because they bring us in contact with events of which the narrators themselves were a part, but also because, as a relation of facts and incidents based upon the personal observations and experiences of participants, they bring us much closer to the actual events of the War Of the Rebellion than the more formal statements of the professional historian. Many of the incidents referred to, which are more or less 'of a per sonal character, would never have become matter of record but for these papers, nevertheless they give life to the accounts that are presented in the Official reports.
