Excerpt from The Dark Days of the Civil War, 1861 to 1865: The West Virginia Campaign of 1861, Antietam and Harper's Ferry Campaign of 1862, the East Tennessee Campaign of 1863, the Atlanta, Campaign of 18664 In writing this narrative, I have freely used my own recollections and memoranda, and have also consulted many volumes by different writers, and the Government records. It is the duty of every participant to give the future generation she benefit of his personal experience when able to do so, as no of social statement can convey an adequate idea of the sufferings and sacrifice endured by the thousands of men, the flower of the American youth, who have gone down to their graves practically unknown, and whose achievements are forgotten. Therefore I offer these personal recollections of the war, feeling that they should be written before the facts have faded from the memory of the living. In this attempt I have omitted much, and have added nothing to a truthful history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
