Excerpt from Historical and Biographical Souvenir of the 49th Iowa U. S. Volunteer Infantry: Illustrated With Scenes of Camp Life, December, 1898 In compiling this valuable work and illustrating it with scenes that will last long in the memory of those who were willing to sacrifice their all for the honor of their country, we have spared neither time nor expense to make it as correct in data and details as the opportunities have offered, and it is with intense satisfaction that we are enabled to present a Souvenir Book that in a measure does credit to the regiment as a whole, and the State of Iowa. Our efforts to make this work valuable to all and to excel all other Regimental Souvenir works in every particular, we trust will be fully appreciated and the results crowned with success. Only a faint appreciation of its excellent value as a record of those who bravely volunteered their services and lives for the defence of their country can now be had, for, as years roll on, it will be numbered with the most valued treasures of the spanish-american war, and referred to with pride by every individual member, their families and friends, as an everlasting testimony to the courage and patriotism of every soldier enrolled on its pages.
