Personal Reminiscences
OF
Foreword
This book of personal reminiscences and comment is published for my friends.
From time to time I have related incidents of the Civil War and of my activities after the War, and numerous friends have been good enough to suggest their compilation in book form.
Inasmuch as the book is for private circulation only — among friends — its readers will, I am sure, be lenient in their judgment of both its defects and the necessary frequent intrusion of the "first person."
If an3rtliing be found between the covers of this book which shall prove of interest to any of my old comrades or acquaintances, or an incentive to any of my yoimger friends to be ever on the alert to "seize the opportunity" — the ability to do so being the keynote of success — I shall be satisfied.
