McClure CompanyCopyright 1905, 1906, by Carl Schurz NOTE In giving this second volume of our fathers Reminiscencesto the press, we have left it as it came from his pen. He wouldundoubtedly have wished to revise it, perhaps even to changethe character of certain passages, for he wrote down at randomthe recollections as they came to his mind. But we, uponwhom the task he left unfinished has now devolved, believeit best to leave what he wrote as it stood. We cannot, however, allow these pages to go from us with-out acknowledging gratefully the devoted assistance of MissRuth Putnam, without whose aid we should not have beenable so soon to prepare the work for publication.
