Irwin, a former Lieutenant-Colonel and Assistant Adjutant-General of the Corps, sets the stage by mentioning the need to recount events from before the formal establishment of the corps to its eventual dissolution. It emphasizes a commitment to capturing not just the valor but also the everyday experiences of the soldiers who served, as well as honoring those who sacrificed their lives in service to the Union.
