Excerpt from Hancock the Superb: The Early Life and Public Career, Winfield
In the preparation of this Life of Major General Hancock, the author has been abundantly supplied with authentic materials. His researches for early historical facts have been aided by a large number of living witnesses, to whom he thus publicly tenders his grateful obligations.
All the pages of the volume, including names, dates, places, descriptions of scenes and reports of engagements, are intended to be historically correct. They will be found wholly free from partizan matter. The constant aim of the writer has been to present to his countrymen, of all classes, the old as well as the young, a literal transcript of the career of one of the most skilful and successful officers in the patriot Army of the United States.
