Excerpt from The Dark Days of the Civil War, 1861 to 1865: The West Virginia Campaign of 1861, Antietam and Harper's Ferry Campaign of 1862, the East Tennessee Campaign of 1863, the Atlanta, Campaign of 18664

It is the duty of every participant to give the future generation the benefit of his personal experience when able to do so, as no of ficial statement can convey an adequate idea of the sufferings and sacrifice endured by the thousands of men, the flower of the Ameri can youth, who have gone down to their graves practically un known, and whose achievements are forgotten. Therefore I offer these personal recollections of the war, feeling that they should be written before the facts have faded from the memory of the living.

In this attempt I have omitted much, and have added nothing to a truthful history.
