Description:Excerpt from Passages From the Life of Henry Warren Howe, Consisting of Diary and Letters Written During the Civil War, 1861-1865: A Condensed History of the Thirtieth Massachusetts Regiment and Its Flags The history of our late Civil War has been ably written by historians, also the personal memoirs of some of cur great commanders, but there were thousands of loyal soldiers who went to the front in 1861 without bounties, actuated simply and solely by patriotic motives. Many of them never returned to their homes. There were others, equally patriotic, who joined the ranks, "fought the fight," and are still living, enjoying the fruits of their victories and the satisfaction of seeing the old flag still floating in the breeze, "not a star erased or a stripe polluted." Being one of this fortunate number, I have published a partial record of my service, war diary, letters and ancestry, dedicating the same to the younger relatives of the generation following the war, with the belief that the same patriotism courses in their veins as has shown itself since the years 1633-37, during which our ancestors landed in this country and began their battle for freedom. To be born of a goodly heritage is a rich legacy! What did these sturdy ancestors seek? "The wealth of seas, the spoils of war?" Far from it! "They sought a faith's pure shrine." "Aye. call It holy ground.The spot where first they trod.They have loft unstained what there they found.Freedom to worship God!" Through their loyalty and ours, "The star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
