Book Description

Excerpt from The Last Flag of Truce My Dear Capt. Ward: It is with great pleasure that I acknowledge receipt of your highly esteemed favor of the 11th, enclosing account of "The Last Railroad Flag of Truce During the War." It is very interesting indeed and I thank you very cordially for giving me the great pleasure of reading it. By all means have it printed so that the story may live, and the oncoming generations may have the opportunity of reading it. The story is interesting and historical and needs to live. I shall be glad to have half a dozen copies of it when you have had it printed. I remember you very kindly and am so glad to hear from you again. You and I were boys when these occurrences took place, but they left their impression, and very rightly so, and amid it all we have nothing to be ashamed of. May God bless you and spare you and keep you many years for your friends to respect and love, one of whom I count myself. You and I and a few others are all that is left of the "old guard," and let us love each other unto death.
