Excerpt from Excursion to Antietam and Dedication of Monuments of the 8th, 11th, 14th and 16th Regiments of Connecticut Volunteers: October, 1894
By special invitation of members of the Fourteenth Regiment, the editor accompanied the party with cameras to study the battlefields and prepare illustrated lectures upon them. Being requested by Colonel J. C. Broatch and General J. B. Clapp to prepare a souvenir of the dedications, and finding this desire to be general among the Committee of Arrangements and veterans participating, the work was undertaken, and the result is here presented. Every possible assistance and courtesy has been afforded by the chairman, orators, chaplains, secretaries and members of committees of the various regimental organizations. The publishers of the Hartford Courant generously offered the use of the engravings used in their account of the dedication, but it seemed best to use a finer grade than can be done in newspaper work.
Acknowledgement of courtesies is also due to our printer, Mr. E. E. Darrow, of New London, and his foreman, Mr. Charles H. Abbott, the Suffolk Engraving Co., of Boston. The publishers of the Palmer Journal, Mass., kindly loaned the cut of Harlow Chapin, which we use.
A few of the other cuts have been loaned by their owners, but the larger part have been specially made for this book. In making the Souvenir cover all that seemed desirable it has been necessary to increase its size over one-halfmore than was promised in the prospectus, and to more than double the cost first intended. The advance orders amounting to over three hundred copies, it was thought that an edition of five hundred would be needed, and that number has been issued. As this edition will, undoubtedly, be soon exhausted, all who wish copies should order promptly.
