The narrative in these pages follows chiefly the official reports, andit is believed will not be found to conflict seriously with them.Official reports, however, are liable to errors of statement andespecially to the omission of facts, well known to the writer but notalways to the reader, the want of which is seriously felt when theattempt is made not only to tell the gross results but to detail thesteps that led to them. Such omissions, which are specially frequentin the earlier reports of the Civil War, the author has tried tosupply by questions put, principally by letter, to survivingwitnesses. A few have neglected to answer, and on those points he hasbeen obliged, with some embarrassment, to depend on his own judgmentupon the circumstances of the case; but by far the greater part of theofficers addressed, both Union and Confederate, have replied veryfreely. The number of his correspondents has been too numerous toadmit of his thanking them by name, but he begs here to renew to themall the acknowledgments which have already been made to each inperson.
