Excerpt from History of the Thirty-Sixth Regiment Illinois Volunteers During the War of the Rebellion

In the presentation of our History of the thirty-sixth Reg iment, Illinois Volunteers, to the public, we have no apologies to offer for what may seem an intrusion, in adding another vol ume to the already overburdened literature of the war. The survivors of the Old thirty-sixth have long felt the want of such a work, for one among many other reasons, to correct the errors and to supply the omissions of the general historian. They, many years ago, inaugurated measures looking to the col lection of the annals of the Regiment, and their publication. A historian was appointed, and committees from each company selected to assist in the collection of material, and to collate and prepare it for the press. But little progress was made, and as the years passed by and the work was not accomplished, or even fairly commenced, other appointments were made, but without satisfactory results. At the annual reunion of the surviving comrades in 1875, another historian was selected, new auxil iary committees created, and an impetus given which promised success. The new historian early associated with him the former one, and dividing the work between them, the result has been the present volume.
