Excerpt from Recollections of a Private: A Story of the Army of the Potomac HE first few chapters of this book were published under the title of Recollections of a Private in the Century Magazine. Herein I have endeavored to speak for my many comrades in the ranks. Could their voices have been heard mine would have been silent. The general of an army, in his reports, gives the anatomy of army movements and of battle. A description of the many incidents of the private soldier's experience shows its living soul.

Excerpt from History of the Army of the Potomac Beauregard, Wright, and numerous other officers and Con federate veterans have assisted me. With the aid Of those who were active participants in the two contending armies, and the guidance of the completed Rebellion Records, I have endeavored to submit a history free from bias, and as justly correct as I could. Where a point was in dispute, I have carefully weighed all the evidence, to give honor to whom honor was due. And in many cases I have given the different statements, so the readers can decide in their own judgments. With these frank statements, I have only to say that I have honestly performed my duty to the best Of my ability, and if I have fallen short Of what ought to have been expected of me, I have to beg an indulgent public to let me have the benefit Of the mantle of charity which SO frequently has to shield frail humanity.

Excerpt from The Iron Brigade: A Story of the Army of the Potomac They were paddling idly down the stream - two young men and a girl. She lay luxuriously back upon the cushions in the stern sheets, the tiller ropes hanging loosely from her slender white hands, her soft blue eyes fixed tenderly upon the fine face of the oarsman nearest her - a youth whose lithe, agile form swayed slowly to and fro in harmony with the swing of the long, light sculls. The wooded shores, the rural beauty of the scene, passed unnoticed. Something of absorbing interest kept "all eyes in the boat." Stroke and bow were in animated if not actually heated discussion, and the dark brown eyes that earlier in the afternoon seemed ever seeking those of liquid blue before him, were now turned, sometimes to port, sometimes to starboard, sometimes over the squared shoulders, flashing on the man in front - a young athlete with eyes as blue and hair and skin well-nigh as fair as those of the girl at the helm. He of the stroke sculls, on the contrary, was tawny, almost, as a son of the tropics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
