At first it was contemplated onlv to gather nistorical facts in relation to the service ofthe company, but it assumed larger proportions until the present little volume is the result. In its preparation the author is m debted verr much to Mrs. Crosby, who gave all the pa I'vers. Records and documents left bv her late husband, Captain William Crosby, relating to the company, its formation. Authority for organization. Etc., also the loan of the private diaries of Captain Crosby, for the years of and 1864.
