A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is intended to be a sketch of that portion of the military career of Lieutenant-G eneral Wade Hampton embraced in the campaign of 1864, when he commanded the Cavalry, which was then an important part of the fighting power of the Army of Northern Virginia. The facts related are based upon documents and letters in the possession of General Hampton and memoranda prepared by him, to which he has been kind enough to permit me to have access. Most of these were, by General Robert E. Lee srequest, arranged for his use when he had the intention of writing the history of his campaigns. Other sources of information and verification, of which I have made use, are official reports and correspondence contained in theO fficial Records of the Union and Confederate A rmies, published by the United States War Department, and also authentic evidence furnished by eye-witnesses of the events, or by those conversant with the facts referred to. It has been the writers purpose to avoid in this narrative all exaggeration and artificial description, believing that the facts alone best tell the story of that momentous period, when the fate of theN orthern as well as of theS outhern Confederacy was daily trembling in the balance.
