DEDICATION._Soldiering in North Carolina Being the experiences of a 'typo' in the pines, swamps, fields, sandy roads, towns, cities, and among the fleas, wood-ticks, 'gray-backs,' mosquitoes, blue-tail flies, moccasin snakes, lizards, scorpions, rebels, and other reptiles, pests, and vermin of the 'Old North State.' Embracing an account of the three-years and nine-months Massachusetts regiments in the department, the freedmen, etc., etc., etc.

To the officers and men of the Seventeenth Massachusetts

Regiment, who, through no fault of theirs, have only

lacked the opportunities to render their organization

as famous as that of any regiment from

the old Bay State: whose services have

been mostly of that passive character

--upon the outpost picket, and

performing arduous duty in

the midst of a malarial

country--that suffers

and endures much

without exciting

comment or adding

to the laurels, of which

every true soldier is so proud:
