Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Campaign of Mobile: Including the Cooperative Operations of Gen. Wilson´s Cavalry in Alabama On the occasion of issuing the second edition of this history it may be of interest to state that I commenced collecting materials for the work of Washington City in the beginning of the year 1866, and remained there nearly all of that year, exclusively engaged in preparing it for the press. I sent out, at the start, specific requests for information, not only to commanders of divisions, brigades, regiments, and batteries which took part in the campaign, but to a number of others who were found to possess interesting facts. The responses to these requests were generally prompt and full, and so intelligent and circumstantial as to inspire confidence. Occasionally the first reply would lead to more searching inquiries. The result was that, from the best Union and Confederate sources, and while the facts were fresh in the minds of the writers, I received a large number of communications making in the aggregate several hundred pages. These original papers are still in my possession, and I hope some time to deposit them in a public library that is fire-proof. That no pains should be spared on my part to make the work as accurate and complete as possible, I, in the month of May, 1866, accompanied by a conscientious and competent artist (Mr. Dielman), went from Washington and revisited the battle-fields of Spanish Fort and Blakely.
