Описание: Excerpt from The Civil War in History

The diary of the Civil War has been written by many and distinguished historians, some actors in its scenes, and others not, who have sought to record the great and con trolling events Of that bloody struggle from different view points and Often colored by personal experiences, or told in such way as to add luster to the names and deeds of certain distinguished actors. But these diaries have given us, in the main, a reliable story, from which we may draw safe and abiding lessons for the nations future guidance.

Many diaries of the Civil War have been written in humbler fashion, by less distinguished people, and record ing the deeds Of humbler men, which are none the less truthful, and which, none the less, contain the richer teachings of those strenuous years. Each one of us, com rades, has written such a diary, either upon paper, or in the hearts and lives of those near to us. We have narrated our personal experiences and vividly described scenes which we have witnessed and in which we have been actors, to those who have not forgotten the stories, andby whom lessons, hidden in them, are being discovered, and wrought into the sturdy manhood of the generations that have already followed ours.

By the aid of memory we sweep back through the years and over the experiences of life, and great truths rush upon us which we did not see when we were passing through them.

Many and wonderful are the lessons already learned by this retrospect, by the study of these diaries. But fifty years is too short a space of time to give a perspective sufficient to disclose all that is stored in these written and unwritten records. We have already learned much. Mighty inﬂuences have already proceeded from them. But the historian of the generations yet to come, as distance gives him a fuller and more perfect view of the events and scenes in which we were actors, will find lessons and truths hidden in them, which have not been disclosed to us and which we have not imagined.

The nation is nobler and better by reason of. What has already been learned. She has become more powerful for righteousness and has a mightier inﬂuence among the na tions, by reason of the unfolding and strengthening of the true spirit of liberty which the Civil War brought.
