nates its pages and furnislies a proud record of the patriotic devotion of 

 its citizens, wliicli appropriately closes the strictly historical part of this 

 work. It is the military record of Lancaster County, From the papers 

 on file in the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, which have 

 been kindly placed at my disposal through the courtesy of ^[r. Gara, 

 have been prepared the subjoined lists relating to the Revolution ; those 

 relating to the Eebellion are drawn from the Adjutant General's Report 

 for 18G6. It is matter of regret that in spite of the most diligent 

 search at Ilarrisburg and elsewhere, similar lists of the officers from 

 Lancaster County who served in the war against Great Britain in 1812- 

 1814, and in the war against Mexico, could not be obtained. They may 

 yet be forthcoming and, in that event, will be printed in a subsequent 

 edition of this History. The noble work done with unwearied energy, 

 perseverance, and self-sacrificing devotion by the " PATRIOT DAUGII- 

 TERS," concludes the Military History of the County in the modest 

 report, prepared by the excellent ladies on whom the management of 

 the organization devolved, and is perhaps its brightest page.
