Excerpt from General Hancock
In writing this life of General Hancock I have, with the kind permission of the Messrs. Charles Scribner"s Sons, drawn freely, as occasion required, from my History of the Second Army Corps, published by that house in 1887. In the same spirit, I have introduced some paragraphs taken from my paper on General Hancock, read before the New York Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion in February, 1891, and from my ad dress on General Sheridan, delivered before the City Government of Boston in December, 1888. I have also made use here, as in the History of the Second Corps, of the manuscript narrative of General Charles H.Morgan, long inspector general and chief of the corps staff.
I most painfully regret the indifference, if not aversion which for years after the war I felt toward all that related to the incidents of the great struggle.
