As a general statement the saying was false then, and is not true today. It has been a lie always. There has never been a time when there were not men and women in every community of every country, who were ready to hazard their lives, and give them up if necessary, for something they held more dear. When Satan's estimate is true of a man, that man's life is not worth saving. The following lists contain the names of all Racine county men in the Union armies who lost their lives in the Civil War. It is unprofitable and ungrateful to inquire into or question personal motives or animus; it is enough to know that they made the sacrifice, and it is now the duty of the people of this county to see to it that the memory of their martyrdom be not allowed to grow dim. The names of these men, and the story of their heroism should be made familiar to every school boy and girl in the county, as a matter of right to the school children, as well as of justice to the memory of the soldier.
