Brown University In The War PDF Download

Excerpt from Civil War Record of Brown University The compiler of this Record, early in 1868, published a volume of three hundred and eighty pages entitled Brown University in the Civil War. In it were included biographies of twenty-one of the graduates and non-graduates of the University who died in that war, and also the record of the two hundred and ninety-four of the graduates and non-graduates who served in the Union army or navy in the Civil War period. In the Brown Alumni Monthly for April, 1915, attention was called to a noteworthy gift received by the Library of the University from Mr. Bertram Smith, of Berkeley, California (class of 1910). It was a typewritten compilation, covering one hundred pages, containing references to Brown University graduates and non-graduates in the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies in the Civil War - that monumental work comprising one hundred and thirty volumes, published under the direction of successive Secretaries of War until its completion under Secretary Elihu Root in 1901. It was a happy thought that led Mr. Smith (even with the aid of the invaluable index volume of 1242 pages, recording every name in these one hundred and thirty volumes) to make the extended search which his plan required. As Mr. Smith remarked in his introduction, the material thus secured added little to what was already known concerning the services of Brown University graduates and non-graduates in the Civil War.
