of tho Union and Confederate armies.
They fought not for military glory, but
from a high sense of patriotic duty.
They hit their homes of case and com

ones, lo encounter tho trials, hardships
and dangers of the camp and battle field,
and although most of thein were civilians,
and were unaccustomed to the trials and

To keep alive tho spiiit of devotion to

have differed from many of them in po

respect their opinions, adiuir their cour
