Condensed History of the Mexican War and Its Glorious Results

Since the printing of this book it has come to my knowledge that comrade James C. Carleton, secretary of the National Association of Mexican War Veterans of Bedford, Indiana, under-ranks me in age 14 days. He was born on the 17th of June, 1832, while I saw the light first on the 3rd of June of the same year. This knocks the conceit out of me as to being the youngest veteran of the Mexican War, and I take my hat off to my dear young comrade Carleton, late of the 5th Regiment Indiana Volunteers, Colonel Lane, and I am relegated to a back seat.
I hope my dear comrade will live to see his 100th birthday, and that he may never die till I kill him, and when he is called away at the last tattoo, may every hair of his head be converted into an electric light to illumine his march to glory.
