Excerpt from Campaigning With Banks in Louisiana, 63 and 64, and With Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley in 64 and 65
This book is intended to bring before the Public the campaign in Louisiana and the short hut decisive campaign in the Valley under Sheridan. It is not a history of any particular regiment or corps but is a true and faithful account of the movements of the armies under command of Generals N. P. Banks and P. H. Sheridan; therefore, I have not mentioned the special brilliant charge of any one regiment, knowing that each and every one did their part as they were ordered. I have left out a great deal of fun and amusement, but it happened just the same, for if there ever was fun it was in the army.
The reader can rely on the historical correctness of the book as near as any one individual can tell the story of three years" campaign.
I will here take the opportunity to return my thanks to comrades of the different regiments and corps for the use of diaries, without which this book could not have been published.
