After serving the full term of his three-year enlistment Heffelfinger was mustered out at Fort Snelling in May 1864. After a brief appointment as a relief agent in the United States Sanitary Commission in 1864 he re-enlisted in April 1865 and was appointed a major in the First Minnesota Regiment of Heavy Artillery. Heffelfinger died in 1915 while this book was about to go to press although he did read through the manuscript and made suggestions "which have been adopted in the text as it now appears." Searles Taylor Heffelfinger and two others also deceased were the members of the "Coville Commission" who had charge of the preparation of this history. <br/><br/> Easton & Masterman, printers hardcover books
