HISTORY OF FULTON COUNTY.
fense of their Government, and who were spared to see the army of the Union victorious, returned to their homes to receive grand ovations and tributes of honor from friends and neighbors who had eagerly and zealously followed them wherever the fortunes of war called. Exchanging their soldiers' uniforms for citizens' dress, most of them fell back to their old vocations,-on the farm, at the forge, at the bench, in the shop, and at whatever else their hands found to .do. Brave men are honorable always, and no class of citizens are entitled to greater respect than the volunteer soldiery of Fulton county, not alone because they were soldiers, but because in their associations with their fellow-men their walk is upright, and their honesty and character without reproach.
Their country first, their glory and their pride, Land of their hopes, land where their fathers died ; When in the right, they'll keep their honor bright; When in the wrong, they'll die to set it right.
No more fitting tribute to their patriotic valor can be offered the brave men who went forth in defense of liberty and union, than a full and complete record, so far as it is possible to make it, embrac- ing the names, the terms of enlistments, the battles in which they -were engaged, and all the minutiæ of their military lives. It will be a wreath of glory encircling every brow, a precious memento to hand down to posterity, and one which each of them carned in de- fense of their and our common country. There are, no doubt, some men who, while they lived in Fulton county, enlisted in other counties and were never credited to this county. While the names of such properly belong here, and we would gladly give them did we know them, yet the Adjutant-General's reports, the source of our information, give their names as belonging to other counties, and we were unable to learn of this fact in every case.
