Excerpt from Battle-Fields Revisited The following pages were originally addressed to the Kalamazoo Daily Telegraph in the form of newspaper correspondence. Written hastily on the journey - sometimes beneath an inviting tree, or in a fence corner by the roadside, sometimes in the deserted forts or trenches themselves - publication in book form was the last thing that the writer dreamed of. He was on a vacation trip, tramping and "Tenting on the old camp ground." The thought occured to him that things which were found to be of such intense interest to himself might also interest his comrades if they were jotted down. With that view the first series of letters was written. On his way north he stopped off in time to attend the great re-union of Ohio soldiers held at Columbus, August 12, 1880. President Hayes, General Sherman and other prominent generals were present, besides a throng of many thousand veterans, of the rank and file.
