To accompany the photographs, short me-moirs have been compiled, from the HarvardMemorial Biographies and from other sources,of Colonel Charles Russell Lowell and some ofhis friends and cousins, with Governor John at their head. There were other friends and cousins whoseservices in the war and since the war equallydeserve recognition, but whose photographswere not at hand when the original collectionwas made: the cousins are Francis L.
