Book Description

Excerpt from Bugles and Bells, or Stories Told Again: Including the Story of the Ninety-First Ohio Volunteer Infantry; Reunion Poems and Social Tributes If I were to dedicate this volume, it would be first to my army comrades, and then to my friends who have kindly commended, and so often asked why I have not gathered together my little brood, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her Wings. A busy life has not favored me in literary work. Almost every word has been written at times that should have been devoted to rest. Much of it has been committed to paper in quiet hours of the night, when sleep, Nature's sweet restorer, should have claimed me for repairs; while the rail road car has frequently been my workshop, thereby relieving the tedium of travel, and giving play to the thoughts that haunted my fancy, or claimed the warmth of my heart for the friends in whose behalf the Bells swung to and fro, or my fancy ran the gamut of the Bugles, whose echoes came to me from what is now the land of Long Ago. I greet you, kind reader, with the love that has prompted every effort this volume contains. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
