Excerpt from New History of the 99th Indiana Infantry: Containing Official Reports; Anecdotes; Incidents; Biographies and Complete RollsOne hundred and sixty-four; or seventeen per cent. Had been discharged on account of wounds; or disability incurred in the service; many of them to go with halting steps for a few years and then to go in feebleness down to the grave.Twenty-seven of them by their longings for home and the bad advice of friends there; gave up their manhood and deserted the ranks. Their names will not appear in this history; for it is enough that they are preserved in the archives of the nation. They were nearly all the first winter in West Tennessee and each company had one or more; five being the greatest number from any company.Seventy-one of the number that were mustered out with the regiment bore the scars of the wounds they received in battle; and those that survive still have these mementoes of their valor and devotion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Captures the spirit of Buddhism's greatest poet-saintBy ZenshinMy late teacher; The Venerable Bhikshu Shuzen; practiced mendicancy for more than two years. He lived out for that time; traveling by foot from town to town; with a pack on his back. He carried only one book; the 1947 edition of the remarkable 1909 translation of Shantideva's Bodhicaryavatara; by L.D. Barnett. That's how highly Sensei prized this book. Over one hundred years ago there was almost nothing in the West about Buddhism and yet this translation; more than any since; captures the spirit of the Bodhisattva path. Shantideva's soaring; high prose style is elevating and unequaled and Barnett's version is the best. This little volume will give you the heart of Buddhism.I'm happy to write this review because untill very recently there were almost no copies available and those that were; carried the "out of print" price. Now there is this edition and everyone interested can easily have a copy. I can't recommend it too highly.
