" THE world will soon be full of books, indeed they

already begin to rain upon us, wherein a sort of

book-making from official pamphlets, and articles,

and the like matter, codifies for us in an intelligent

summary the chief events of the war. The work is,

and will be, largely done by skilful penmen without

any knowledge of strategy. It will fulfil useful

purposes. The following pages bear no relation

to any such intention. We have made strategic

notes for our own guidance during the course of the

campaign ; we have made the most elaborate

research for the position and acts of every unit

that has fought in the war ; we have tried to place

these corps in their positions on the morning and

the evening of each day at reveille and in bivouac

and billet. Without the advantage of communion

with the leaders and commanders, we have, from

strategic training, sought out the motives for

strategic acts, and drawn deductions from the

attempts to execute those acts. "
