Campaigns of the Civil War: The Mississippi

Excerpt from Preface: The following pages are founded upon a careful study of the Records of the War of the Rebellion, now in course of publication by the War Department, and not upon the recol�lection of personal experience, as it was not my fortune to belong to the generation which fought the Great War. I have earnestly endeavored to make them accurate, and be�lieve that they contain no statement of fact which cannot be substantiated by the Records. Such interpretation as has been put upon these facts is, with all deference, submitted to the judgment of the candid reader. I desire to express my sense of obligation to Colonel R. N. Scott, U. S. Army, in charge of the publication of the Records, for his kindness, not only in affording me unre�stricted access to the Archives, but also in giving me infor�mation, which his thorough knowledge of the subject alone could give, to assist my search through them.
