That the foregoing object might be reliably accomplished, the authors have had access to Lossing, Swinton, Scribner, Pollard, and Southern Historical Society Papers, to all of whom they acknowledge their indebtedness. As a result, a carefully compiled record has been attained, which can be relied on as being as nearly correct as is possible for the impartial historian to produce. The second object has been to preserve, in permanent form, the incidents, reminiscences, and many amusing anecdotes of the private soldier's life, and it is a source of gratification to us that we have been enabled to produce so many reminiscences of the classes named, which may recall to the memory of our former comrades the associations of the past, and which may impress upon the minds of the present and future generations, the characters of those who took part in the great rebellion.” The last, although not least, object has been to show the fraternal feeling which existed between those who were members of the opposing forces, and the honorable example set to coming generations by the soldiers of both sides after the close of hostilities.
