"The following pages contain facts which are part of the annals of Yates County, and as such, are of interest to all intelligent residents, particularly to those who are veterans of the Civil War. To the young and the rising generation, also, the facts herein related will be found valuable, both for instruction and for reference. It has been the object of the writer to produce a condensed history of certain military events in which citizens of Yates County have been concerned. This county has, in a military sense, a record alike grand and creditable. Many of the early settlers were soldiers in the Revolution, and not a few of the inhabitants of the region now included in our county took at active part in the War of 1812. Among the volunteers of the Mexican War, Yates County was to some extent represented, and to a large extent among the soldiers who fought in the War of 1861-65 for the preservation of the Union"--Preface.
