TO THE MEMORY OF "THE LOVED ONES AT HOME" WIFE—FATHER—MOTHER THIS BOOK IS TENDERLY AND LOVINGLY DEDICATED
I launch this little volume upon the great ocean of books, craving the indulgence of the kind reader for its shortcomings and imperfections, with the hope that it will not be viewed with a critic's eye, and that its imperfections may be charitably passed by. I have endeavored to relate my experiences in the great war of 1861-5 just as events occurred, as if I were detailing them to family or friends in private, or, as I have sometimes done in the past, at gatherings of veterans and friends during the past years.
