For the lawyers out there, this is not a scholarly journal. It's an amateur collection of information about field drums, a subject given precious little attention. On the theory that the "fair use" doctrine of copyright law allows such use for non-commercial educational purposes, we've taken photographs and text freely and without express permission from various sources on the Internet. Whenever possible, work created by others is set in italics so as to distinguish it from original writing. However, if at times we fail to do so, there is no intent to take credit for someone else's work. It is merely the result of a lack of perfection, something which we readily admit. Photographs and italicized text should be considered attributed to the sources identified near them, even if not expressly so stated. If you believe that anything written here is incorrect or if you can add to our learning, please feel free to email us. We guarantee a prompt and courteous reply as well as express attribution for any information or photographs provided.
"I have gon, and rid, and wrote, and sought and search'd with my own and friends' Eyes, to make what Discoveries I could therein. * * * I stand ready with a pencel in one hand, and a Spunge in the other, to add, alter, insert, expunge, enlarge, and delete, according to better information. And if these my pains shall be found worthy to passe a second Impression, my faults I will confess with shame, and amend with thankfulnesse, to such as will contribute clearer Intellence unto me." Fuller's "Worthies of England," 1662. Increase Blake of Boston, His Ancestors and Descendants, etc., Blake, Francis E., Boston, Mass., 1898, Press of David Clapp & Son.

The drums on these pages were here long before we arrived and, with care, should be around long after we've departed. We have the privilege of taking care of them for a short period. As such, we are self-appointed caretakers of a small slice of our country's rich heritage. By sharing knowledge and information, we will all be better suited to discharge our responsibilities with skill and good judgment.
