Excerpt from Historic Days in Cumberland County, New Jersey: 1855 1865; Political and War Time Reminiscences The story of the Civil War and the early days of a great political movement in Cumberland County is a theme of interest to the descendants of the noble men who gave their lives for the Union and those who stood at the cradle of the party of human liberty at a crucial hour in our National history. It appeared to the writer that it was worthy of preservation. To the memory of those who organized the Republican Party in Cumberland County in 1855, and the heroic sons of old Cumberland who volunteered in the war for the preservation of the Federal Union - 1861-1865 - many of whom lie in nameless graves on battlefields once red with patriotic blood, this volume is affectionately dedicated.
