Excerpt from On the Parallels: Or Chapters of Inner History; A Story of the Rappahannock
A few years previous to the preparation of this story, the writer published for local circulation a narrative of his recollections while serving a brief time in the Union army.
Encouraged by the good words spoken by the readers of that work, the idea of a revised and enlarged edition with some new features added resulted, after many months of leisure-hour study and patient labor, in the production of the. present volume, and as it is the last publication the author will ever offer to the reading public, his hope is that all defects in its composition and preparation will be charitably overlooked by the literary critic.
To make these new chapters of serious history readable without deflecting from the truth, and that a careful perusal of them will tend in some degree to re-unite more closely and make stronger the bonds of brotherhood between the participants and their kindred of that long fratricidal strife, is the writer's sincere and fervent hope.
