PREFACE.
Comrades and friends, the following 60 pages are drawn from my History or "Annals of Lyndon" and are offered to you by itself in pamphlet form at a price within reach of all, under the title of "Patriotic Lyndon," because, as you will see by the table of contents, it relates only to such organizations as have tended to build up patriotism to our country in Lyndon.
Valley Brook township and the country around was largely settled in an early day after the war by the old soldiers of our union. It has always been at the front in patriotism, and recognizing that the maintenance of these several organizations are conducive to the highest level of citizenship in our commun- ity, I have at infinite pains, spent all my spare time the last three months in examining records, copying rolls and interviewing older residents to get the matter in some shape to be printed. I have been as careful as possible, and so has my compositor; we have compared the notes and read proof repeatedly, but I am well aware how persistent figures and letters are in getting out of place in printing, and after the edition is printed there is only one remedy, and that is to make correction and put it in the appendix. Therefore, if you find a record wrong, look in the last of the book for corrections, and if not there, promptly notify me so that I can print the correction in the supplementary appendix and furnish it to you some months later.
I have introduced 13 war sketches of the Commanders of Lyndon Post, G. A. R., and Comrade Haas' prison story. They give one not familiar with war history a faint idea of what war meant during our four years of the Rebellion. The story of prison life down south where thousands of our noble soldier boys were deliberately starved to death or held in unhealthy prisons until diseases had planted their fatal seeds of death, can never be told.
The long weary months of life in our hospitals through the north, ended only by death, is the only record of tens of thousand who went forth in the morn of life to fight one enemy and were swept to the grave by a greater one -disease-is another story that cannot be told.
But there is a story that can be told, and for 32 years since the war the old soldiers have been telling it plainly that-"Treason was not right," and that those hot headed Southerners who tried to tear this union to pieces to build up slavery were whipped and that they surrendered with Genl. Robt. E. Lee to Genl. U. S. Grant at Appomattox, April 9, 1865, and that the Union-loving people of our land do not propose to let this government be run by those who. tried to destroy it and the noble defenders of the union going down into beg .. gars' graves.
Shall the service of 2,265,912 men (400,000 of which never lived to see the the close of the war) from our Northern land, engaged for four years and two months in 2,800 or more skirmishes, engagements and battles, every one of them at the cost of some one or more union life, be a useless sacrifice to our country's good ? To the youth growing up in our homes I leave the answer.
Ever let us be a "Patriotic Lyndon."
