Excerpt from Knapsack and Rifle, or Life in the Grand Army: War as Seen From the Ranks; Pen Pictures and Sketches of Camp, Bivouac, Marches, Battle-Fields and Battles, Commanders, Great Military Movements, Personal Reminiscences and Narratives of Army Life, Adventures, Escapes, Humorous Incidents

There is little field for a general history of the war, but there is always a field for personal narrative and adventure, the recital of patriotic services and sacrifices.

Especially is it desirable for the American people to have a description of the great conflict, as the man saw it who carried the knapsack and rifle, and went into the thickest of the fight. The scenes and records in this book are real; the facts, by reason of their thrilling nature, called for no exaggeration.

The actual names of the persons introduced to the reader are used in only a few instances. Besides rendering the narrative too personal, real names would have made a dis tinction uncalled for, as thousands not named were as heroic as any celebrated here; but living men and heroes form the characters in the book. Many old army boys will recognize themselves and their acquaintances.

The narrative is followed by Chronological Tables of bat tles, numbers engaged, commanders, losses and results, the value of which cannot be over-estimated, and a Digest of the Pension Laws, which will be of great service.
