D. Laciar, 1867, 120 pagesThe Preface notes what is accomplished by this volume:    "The object of the author of this volume, is the preservation of the names and services of the noble men, citizens of Carbon County, who served the country of their birth or adoption, during a period of danger such as no nation ever experienced.  The memory of the soldiers who saved the Republic of the United States from the destroying hand of a deeply-laid and long-premeditated Rebellion will be ever sacred in the hearts of the American people.  It is due to the men who served faithfully in this great struggle, that their claims to the gratitude of their country should be distinctly recorded and preserved in a permanent form, so as to place it within the reach of all.  It is with these views that the following record of the services of the Carbon County soldiers has been compiled.  The author's aim has been to do justice to all, and as the greater portion of this work has been gathered from official sources, it is reliable and correct."The information includes details on the following companies:Infantry:Three Months' VolunteersBucktail Rifles - Company F11th Reg't - Company H28th Reg't -
