Excerpt from The Young Captain: A Memorial of Capt. Richard C. Derby, Fifteenth Reg; Mass; Volunteers, Who Fell at Antietam

The biographer of the gallant Adjutant Stearns gives, in his opening paragraph, the very reason why the following pages should be presented to the public. these are his words: -

"When a young man of promiso has suddenly fallen in the presence of the nation and in defence of its liberties, and all hope of his future usefulness, in ordinary ways, has been destroyed; if there was any thing in his character and life, or in the circumstances of his death, which, if known, might be of benefit to the world, that sensitiveness of friendship could hardly be justified which should withhold from his fellow-soldiers some fitting memorial of him."
