I find it amazing that I am fortunate enough to have access to the entire set of books entitled War of the Rebellion: Records of the Union and Confederate Armies published in 1883. These are originals, actually published in 1883. To hold one of these volumes, 141 years old, sends shivers up my spine.To read through these volumes would take a long long time. I love to savor the written word, in use at the time, and to absorb the vocabulary used by educated men (officers) of the era. Their prose is unique to that era and their use of crafted paragraphs is refreshing and well - informative.
Hopefully there will not be another set of these that our Great Great Grandchildren will read.
With rifle in hand, I confidently go forth into the darkness.
