Excerpt from Lee's Sharpshooters, Or the Forefront of Battle: A Story of Southern Valor That Never Has Been Told The author proposes to add to the great volume of American war history a mere postscript, setting forth in systematic detail the operations of a single battalion of Lee's sharpshooters, whose services on the field of battle entitle it, as a distinctive organization, to some historical consideration. This to be followed by such sketches of its co-ordinates in the same service as may fall within the scope of his own personal knowledge or may be gathered from other legitimate sources. It is not designed to disturb the record, or detract one iota from the renown achieved by the gallant brigades of which these battalions were proud to compose a part, but only to rescue from oblivion and the shadows of a fading memory, the story of their exploits upon the historic hills of Virginia, is this difficult yet pleasing task undertaken.
