PREFACE.
    The story contained in this book is a true one. It was taken from    letters, memoranda and memory. The author has in his possession    twenty-nine letters written by him while in the army, from 1861 to    1865, and sent to his relatives, who returned them to him at the close    of the war.  
    The memoranda were written soon after his return from the army. The    accounts taken from memory are reasonably correct, as the scenes    through which he passed, though here poorly portrayed, are of a    character not easily forgotten. They are indelibly stamped upon    the memory, and it seems, as time rolls on, that it renders the    recollection of them even more vivid and distinct. After revising this    story a number of times it is presented to the reader in its present    form.
