Berry, His Career as a Contractor, Bank President, Politician, and Major-General of Volunteers, in the Civil War Together With His War Correspondence, Embracing the Period, From Bull Run to Chancellorsville The biographical articles treating of major-general Berry, which were prepared by the author and published in the Rockland courier-gazette, have met with such flattering recep tion, crude though they were, that, yielding to my own inclina tions and the importunities of the many admirers of General Berry, I now offer, in more enduring form, this life story of Maine's greatest soldier; first subjecting the original sketches to a thorough revision, adding much matter that has since become available, and eliminating many things that would not prove of interest to the general reader.
