FOREWORD War, death, suffering, intolerance and famine did thrust themselves upon us and even now remain ubiquitous. The pruning knife of time did seek to stunt our youth; cut us mercilessly from the growing tree of life. To drink of the joys and bitterness of life has been our lot as well as to share unwantonly the tears of sorrow and share unflinchingly the mis- eries and pleasures that helped make our common bond. And yet from the welter of life’s vicissitudes we have emerged—each of us one of the many who formerly graced our ranks—somewhat embittered but ever tolerant, scathed but unharmed, worn but indefatiguable, fearful and yet undaunted. Within the pages of this volume is contained a portion of that story, and herein likewise are har- bored some of the many reminiscences that shall e’er be the subjects of our afterthoughts. Herein lies, in part, our bulwark and ramification for the pressing days that lie ahead. Let him who would with us amongst these pages muse, approach this study in hope and reverence, for now it is with him the die is cast.

Many have freed themselves from this Sisyphean labour by claiming redundant the repeated efforts of sin- cere panegyrists. But we who enjoy the break of day made possible by the trials of you courageous Lincoln sons, though realizing the extremes of degree presented by our writing in ink what you have written in your life blood, say “encore.” They fought for freedom, not for fame Six
