Book Description

Excerpt from Daring and Suffering: A History of the Great Railroad Adventure While our absent brothers are battling on the field, it is becoming that the friends at home should be eager for the minutest particulars of the camp-life, courage and endurance of the dear boys far away; for to the loyal lover of his country every soldier is a brother.
