Excerpt from Marginalia: Or Gleanings From an Army Note-Book

The object of the present work is three-fold - to perpetuate the memory of the outrages of an infamous foe - to exhibit the virtues of the Southern people, and to preserve to posterity' a selection of Sketches and Incidents illustrative of the different phases of the Southern war. Compiled as they are from various sources, it is unnecessary to apologize' for the fact that some of the anecdotes herein presented have been published before; but for the first time they are now given to the world in an aggregated form. It is believed that they will entertain and instruct the reader of the present generation; yet, if no other purpose is served,.they may supply the future historian with facts stranger than fiction, and, to our children and children's children, exhibit the lights and shadows of the times in which their fathers lived.
