BY J. J. SUTTON, LATE PlilVATE OF THE REGIMENT. PORTSMOUTH, OHIO, 1892. c:c{ ev «( I v\ tPocluetoPL] If it is true that he is a beneftictor who causes two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before, then it may be said that he who causes two facts to stand out in bold relief where only one fact appeared before, is a friend to truth and a conservator of history ; and if he brings a multitude of facts that otherwise would hav^e been lost to sight, surely he is to be commended, and his motives not to be misconstrued. The author of this work needs not to apologize for bringing it forth. He has put u])on record a multitude of facts that might have passed into oblivion, as far as the memory of man is concerned, had he not taken occasion to fix them on paper as he himself remembered them, and as hundreds of others will attest, for the perusal of the future historian. Already the general results of the war are well known to every student of history, for the late war has now passed into l»ist')ry ; but the thousands of incidents that appeared then to be of no importance have yet proved to be the piv- otiii points nj)on which many an engagement turned, and tli'-y are set lorth in the light in which they appeared to the observant soldier, whose duty was to go antl to come at the bidding of his superior officer. It was not his privilege to say yea or nay, but simply to obey. By no means was the American volunteer soldier a machine. Often was it the case that he who simply wore the blue, Avithout insig- nia of oilice of any kind, was possessed of an insight as Transfer Pension O^iice Library INTRODUCTORY. 3 penetrating into the events tliat were passing abont him as was that of those whose duty it was to direct the issues of the campaign. This may be said truthfullv of the Ameri- can volunteer, that, taken collectively, they rarely ever ar- rived at a wrong conclusion in the movement that was being made, and this without communication with their superior officers. They conversed freely w^ith each other while around the ])icket fire, and intelligently forecasted the operations of their superiors, and not infrequently were pungent criticisms indulged in that would have cost them their hope of preferment; for every soldier hoped that in some way his services would be recognized, and that he might be able to go back to his people, if not with the in- signia of promotion, at least with the commendation of his superior officers, that would enable him to look the whole world in the face. The author of this book lias made the various situa- tions from 1861 to 1 S65 a careful study, and having been continually at the front during all that period, and having been a close student of all that was going on about him, he possesses a vantage ground from which he can take abroad survey of all the events of thnt period. Much of the time his opportunities for obtaining information were of the best, and while it was his duty to serve with closed lips, his ear was alert for everything that would tend to enli<j;hten him upon what was going on. Often entrusted with the execu- tion of important orders, his oj)portunities for observation were enlarged, and, l^eing careful to keep a record of the daily doings of the armv with which lie was connected, he created a fund of information that for usefulness far sur- passed anything that he then suspected, fur when he con- ceived the idea of writing up the annals of his regiment, ho found himself possessed of a vast amount of material that was like a reflected image, for it was the record of the hour and the place. But that was not all. His experience had prepared him to bring to his assistance the best testi- mony that could be obtained concerning the various (am- piiigns v,'J which his regiment was engaged. He has pro- INTKODUCTORY ciiivd documents that emanated in the hour of engagement, under the showers of shot and shell, amidst the roar of battle, the huzzahs ot victory, or in sight of the panic, it may be, that almost invariably attended defeat. Some of these documents are of more than ordinary interest, as they throw a strong light upon the motives that actuated the authorities on either side. Some have been prepared by the survivors of the war, who occupied prominent positions aud wielded great influence, and the testimony will be of ])articular interest to all who participated in the battles de- scribed as reflecting the intention that was behind each moveuient. Letters have been written embracing events that would have faded from memory, and as they are thus brought to mind, they will find corroboration in the minds of many who participated in the actions described. Tliis volume will prove to be of great value to the studeut of the late w^ar ; first, because no pains have been sj)ared to secure accuracy, and second, every form of exag- geratiou or laudation has been carefully excluded.

    Container List 1999.013 ~ Records ~ Duniway, David C. 07/19/2017 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects Box 01 1.01 1868-1980 Adolph-Gill Bldgs The materials in this folder relate to the buildings owned and occupied by J.K. Gill & Co. and by Sam Adolph. These two buildings are in the heart of the original business district of Salem. The Gill Building (1868) is west of the Adolph Block (1880), and they share a staircase. The Gill building was later referred to as the Paulus Building, as it was acquired by Christopher Paulus in 1885; both Robert and Fred Paulus were born upstairs in the building. The Adolph Building was erected by Sam Adolph following a fire that destroyed the wooden buildings on the site; the architect was J.S. Coulter. References to articles in the Daily American Unionist from April 23, 1868 through September 8, 1868 describe the four new brick buildings under construction on State and Commercial Streets. Thes buildings are the intended new homes for the businesses of J.K. Gill & Co., Charley Stewart, Durbin & Co., and Governor Wood's new dwelling. Progress is periodically described. Finally, the first ten days of September, 1868, the moves appear complete and advertisements indicate the items they will carry. Another article in the September 8, 1868 issue indicates that Story and Thompson are moving a house lately occupied by J.K. Gill and Co. to the eastern edge of the lot so that when it is time to construct additional brick buildings, there will be space.
