CHAPTER XX. RECORDS OF THE SURVIVORS. R ECORDS of the survivors of the Regiment are necessary for a completement of its history. Gladly would we enlarge the account of the services and deeds of each man did space allow. The events of each one's conduct would fill a volume. In the following pages of this chapter will be found in brief the record of each survivor. It is a continuous story of heroic deeds, except the few who left their comrades, without permission, to make up the glorious story of its history without them. It was the fate of some to find themselves, early in their service, unfit for soldier life. from disease or disability which was undeveloped when they enlisted. Others were wounded early, and were discharged or placed in the Veteran Reserve Corps to serve out their enlistment term. The fate of a few is unknown. They may be sleeping for the flag in the South or properly discharged from some of the numerous hospitals that the necessities of the war created. A perusal of this chapter will prove sadly interesting, and we commend it to the reader as furnishing food for contemplation, when it is remembered that this is but one of the hundreds of regiments that went through the terrible ordeal of the war.
