Excerpt from "With Touch of Elbow," or Death Before Dishonor: A Thrilling Narrative of Adventure on Land and Sea The story is concluded with a description of a voyage at sea and an extended sojourn among the Azorean Islands. So far as relates to the Civil War, its leading features are already familiar to the reader. The names of the great generals commanding, the battles lost and won, the numbers engaged and the losses sustained, are all set forth in the text-books of our common schools and do not need repeating in a work of this character. But of the soldier himself who, with gun on shoulder and knapsack on back, tramped the bloody and sodden fields; who rode the horse, wielded the pistol and saber, did the fighting and won the victories; upon whose valor, patriotism and fidelity everything depends in time of war, very few details have been given in history. And, While it is impossible to write up the individual prowess of the two million or more men who took up arms in defense of the Union, the writer, in the course of this narrative, offers his own experienceh with which he is most familiar - believing it constitutes a fair representation of the whole, for what one soldier saw.
