FOREWORD This book of personal reminiscences and comment is pub-lished for my friends. From time to time I have related incidents of the CivU Warand of my activities after the War, and numerous friends have beengood enough to suggest their compilation in book form. Inasmuch as the book is for private circulation only—amongfriends—^its readers will, I am sure, be lenient in their judgment ofboth its defects and the necessary frequent intrusion of the firstperson. If anjrthing be found between the covers of this book whichshall prove of interest to any of my old comrades or acquaintances,or an incentive to any of my younger friends to be ever on thealert to seize the opportunity—^the ability to do so being thekejmote of success—I shall be satisfied.
