Excerpt from History of the American War, Vol. 1: First Year of the War (1861-62)Whatever opinion may be formed of this book, the Author can honestly say, that he has endeavoured to write the truth, unbiassed by any leaning to either side. If his greater experience of the Federal Armies and his personal friendship for many of the officers might lead him to an undue sympathy for their cause, it would be counteracted by the admiration he feels for the indomi table spirit shown by the Confederates, evinced both by their gallantry in the field, and by the patience with which they have suffered the hardships and miseries of a war waged on their own soil and attended with peculiar trials.Writing as lie does on events which have oe curred so recently, this narrative will be Open to the criticism of many of the actors in those events, who are in possession of far more precise information than any that the Author could obtain. Should any inac curacies or misstatements be noticed, the Author assures them that they are not the result of any party bias.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
