Excerpt from The Campaign From Texas to Maryland, Vol. 8
In view of the many difficulties by which the Author has been surrounded, both while collecting the material and preparing his Journal for the press, if he has left sufficient room for criticism, no one will feel surprised. For it has been amid the confusion of the camp, trials of the march, and attentions to the wounded on the field and in the different hospitals, scattered all over Richmond, and at every intervening point from this city to Winchester, Va., that he has succeeded in gathering the items of the History of the Campaign, which are thus published for two purposes: First. To preserve and place in the hand of each soldier a correct account of all his trials; and, secondly. To enable each one to send home to his friends the history of the stirring events of which he has made a part.
When circumstances will permit, he designs publishing a more extended and complete narrative. And, in order to which, he solicits the assistance in the collection of facts, of all who feel an interest in these pages. His thanks are already due to Capt. W. O. Walsh and R. A. Davidge.
