Men from Adams County are honored across the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War, and the Spanish American War. The account names Thomas Archibold, James Ball, and George Emery as Revolutionary War veterans, gives their military service and life dates, and also names William Shepherd and additional War of 1812 veterans. It then presents an extensive roll of Adams County men who served in the Civil War, followed by further rosters for the Spanish American War and the Mexican War. The tribute closes by dedicating this remembrance to the glory of the country, to the memory of its soldier heroes, and to the women of the nation for their courage, devotion, and sacrifice.
