Excerpt from Philip Henson, the Southern Union Spy: The Hitherto Unwritten Record of a Hero of the War of the Rebellion This sketch of Philip Henson, the Southern Union Spy, which is offered to the public was per force hastily compiled and hastily written in order that the subject of it and the pages of the late war which it reveals for the first time might be brought before the veterans of the conflict to whom they are of the deepest interest. The materials were gathered and the work completed in the leisure time of four days so that it will be recognized readily that full investiga tion and careful arrangement were impossible. The salient points only are presented leaving to 'a future time the further development of materials of which this is merely a tithe. This explanation of the haste which is apparent in its pages and the blunders which may have crept in is due the readers from the writer.
