William Pittenger ( VO ): My name is William Pittenger. I never intended to write this book, but after our raid into Georgia was over, Something happened to make me change my mind. Along with a group of men who had shared so much with me, I was summoned to the War Department in Washington. We expected nothing more than routine questioning, But were surprised to be invited into Secretary Sta-union's office, And dumbfounded as we took in the meaning of his words.

Edwin Stanton:It is a tribute to your valor that the boldest exploit of this war Bringing consternation upon the Confederacy and glory to our Union arms, Was led by a civilian, and carried out by private soldiers Volunteers, to a man. You've won for us a new respect, and we are grateful. Congress has, by recent law, Prepared a medal to be awarded for conspicuous bravery: The Congressional Medal of Honor." You gentlemen are to have the first ever given. Corporal William Pittenger. Congratulations, Mr. Pittenger.

William Pittenger ( VO ): I tried to thank him but I felt too unworthy, Remembering our missing comrades and our brave leader Andrews Who had gained us this honor.
