In after years, especially when one has lived to survive a great battle,
it is sometimes a pleasant thing to be able to recall to memory the
scenes of by-gone days. But this cannot always be done in the desired
form without some outside aid. Accordingly, this little volume is
published for that very purpose, and the authors earnestly hope that it
will meet with the approval of all those who were fortunate enough to
survive those memorable events.
It has been the aim of the authors to give an unbiased description of
the Battles, just as they occurred, and it is expressly desired that the
public as well may derive some satisfaction from a perusal of the
following pages.
