Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Walter S. Newhall: A Memoir
This brief Memoir was drawn up at the request of a manager of the Metropolitan Fair in aid of the Sanitary Commission. It was thought that a sketch of the career of the most distinguished young men who have died in the present struggle for law and right would interest all who sympa thize with the cause, and that the story of their upright lives might be an example to those who emulate their brave deeds. In every war - above all, in one like this - there are countless sublime acts which are never heard of, hosts of heroes among the nameless dead. Their works do fol low them, and are written on high in characters which the whole worc shall read at the last great day. Until then their stories are not for us, and we must turn to the register of those who had made themselves known before they fell.
