Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the War Department of the United States: With Biographical Sketches of the Secretaries
HE main scope and design of the following work are set forth in the introductory paragraphs of the history itself. I beg only to add, in general terms, that a full and candid history of the War Department would be fairly entitled to a permanent place in American literature because of the long and successful labors of that Department in the spread of commerce and civili zation. Herein, as will be seen in this history, no other agency has been so potent.
