Synopsis
Excerpt from When We Fit for General Grant: Light Battery a Massachusetts Field Artillery, in the Manoeuvres at Manassas, Virginia, September, 1904
I'r occurred to the compiler of this volume to undertake the collection of the events of our Manassas tour, so that when our ser vice in the Battery is ended we may live them over by our firesides. He was encouraged to proceed and has done so, although con scious of his unfitness for the task. He is indebted to Lieutenant J. H. Sherburne, J r., for much of the story, to Corporal Julian I. Chamberlain for the cover design, and to Private Henry B. Hayes and many others for advice and assistance. Doubtless there are many events which he has failed to re cord, and many that he has recorded are inaccurate; but such as it is he hopes the book will be a pleasant reminder of our days in Virginia. Roger Dma Swarm. March, 1906.
