Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Campaigns of Walker´s Texas Division: Containing a Complete Record of the Campaigns in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas; The Skirmish at Perkins´ Landing and the Battles of Milliken´s Bend, Bayou Bourbeux, Mansfield, Pleasant Hill, Jenkins´ Ferry, &C., &C., Including the Federal´s Report of The In presenting the following pages to the public, I trust I am not ignorant of my presumption; and can only offer, as an apology, the neglect heretofore, of abler pens than mine to rescue from probable oblivion the deeds and prowess of "Walker´s Division" of Texas troops of the Confederate States Army. To me the task has been a labor of love - still, one I would have preferred had been undertaken by some one more competent, who could in a measure do justice to the noble subject; for surely it would require the pen of a Thucydides, to give a full and graphic account of the battles, advances, and retreats, in which "Walker´s Division" participated during the late civil war. To the student of military science, the following pages will not be likely to afford much matter of interest, in a scientific point of view, as they are written by one whose position as a private soldier precluded a knowledge of the strategic reasons for the marches and battles which he merely chronicles. That "truth is stranger than fiction" is an axiom as correct as it is right. Thus I claim for these pages of history a strict adherence to truthfulness in recording actual occurrences - facts gathered from the great and bloody drama of the late war, around which lingers the halo of imperishable glory, possessing all the fascination and interest of romance.
