Excerpt from The Thirty-Ninth Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers, 1862-1865 More than fifty years after the organization of the Thirty-ninth Regiment and its departure for the seat of war, its printed history makes its appearance. The long delay has not arisen from any lack of desire for its prep aration, nor on account of want Of material. For many long years it was supposed that the recital was in prepara tion, but the comrade to whom the task was intrusted went away into the other world before its completion, and survivors of the Regiment began to wonder if their story Of long marches, fierce fighting and unspeakable suffering in Rebel prisons ever would be told. At the annual reunion of the Veteran Association in 1911 it was voted to proceed with the long cherished proposition, and a committee was appointed to carry out the proposal; after two years and a half the survivors Of that committee present this volume to the patient waiters among the living veterans and to the families and descendants of those who have made the final crossing.
