Excerpt from History of the Ninth and Tenth Regiments Rhode Island Volunteers, and the Tenth Rhode Island Battery, in the Union Army in 1862

The preparation of this book was undertaken at the unanimous request of the members of the Tenth Rhode Island Volunteers and Battery Association, at its thirtieth annual reunion, May 26, 1892.

Though the work assigned the Committee was entered upon with some reluctance, on account of business and professional duties, it has brought its own reward in the joy of living over old times again, and the days of youthful vigor, when at a moment's warning, we put on uniform and hurried to the defence of the capital.

This record professes to be, not a treatise on the war, but a modest, and we trust, truthful narrative of scenes and incidents of our three months' campaign in 1862, with such a description of the military Situation in Virginia, as will enable the reader to form a correct estimate of the services rendered. Diligent inquiry has been made among the members for old letters, diaries and sketches, and one of the Committee, Comrade William A. Spicer, has consented to arrange the material collected and edit the history.
