We are a motley crew, we of the Army of the Pacific. Farmers, mechanics, merchants, clerks, students, doctors, lawyers, LOUNGERS - tall, medium, short - rich, middle, poor - thin, full, fat - good, bad - indifferent. But what matters occupation, position, wealth, size, or stripe, when our country is at stake? Each and all had somewhere in the heart the germ of patriotism, and could say, with a kindling eye, "My country!" "My native land."

-Adapted from Camp Fires of the 23rd N.Y., by Pound Sterling (William Maxson), 1863.
