Excerpt from Private Dalzell, His Autobiography, Poems, and Comic War Papers, Sketch of John Gray, Washington's Last Soldier, Etc, Vol. 3
Of late, especially from the comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic and the gentlemen of the daily newspaper press, with whom my life for a quarter of a century has been largely passed, I have had numerous requests for my autograph and photograph, neither of which is a thing of beauty. And they have even asked me if I really existed at all except in the imagination and the newspapers. To all these inquiries I have re plied according to the facts, and whenever I could afford it I have uniformly sent my picture to all who sought it.

Excerpt from Private Dalzell, His Autobiography, Poems, and Comic War Papers, Sketch of John Gray, Washington's Last Soldier, Etc, Vol. 3
I promised the public my autobiography, and here it is. The book and volume of my life is too humble a part of history to be elaborated in any detail, and I have not the vanity or egotism to do so. I was born as others are born, and shall die as others have died, and that's about all there's of it. The proper time for a man's "autobiography" to be written is when he is safe in heaven. The gentle reader will not murmur nor complain, therefore, if I cut it short in righteousness.
It's all a mistake that I alone put down the rebellion. I had the able and valuable assistance of Generals Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, and several other gentlemen whose names and rank are too tedious to mention, including - and, as history has neglected to refer to them in any manner whatever, I beg to refer to them in passing - several privates!
This fact seems to have fallen into oblivion and sunk to the bottom.
