Excerpt from Gibson County in the Civil War; An Address by Col. Gil: R. Stormont, at the Dedication of the Gibson County Soldiers Monument at Princeton, Indiana, on Nov, 12, 1913 History of Other Monuments in Gibson County The record of Gibson County in the Civil war was the subject of an address which I had the honor to deliver at the dedication of the Gibson county soldiers' monument in Princeton. November 12, 1912. This was published in the local papers at the time and met with such general interest and approval, because of the historical matter presented, that the suggestion came from various persons that the address should be published in a convenient form for preservation. In compliance with these suggestions, and as an acknowledgement of the compliments of friends as to the merits of the address, this publication is made. And this is offered for whatever apology or explanation may seem necessary for this booklet. As an additional matter of interest the history of the 58th Indiana regimental monument is included in these pages. This monument stands in the court house square, in Princeton, and is conceded to be one of the most unique relics of the civil war. The history of the monument erected at Oakland City, by the surviving members of Company F, 42d Indiana, also finds appropriate place in these pages. With the belief that this record of the loyal and patriotic spirit manifested by the people of Gibson county in the war of the rebellion is one that should be regarded with pardonable pride by every citizen, this little booklet is respectfully submitted.
