A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dedication. soldier, with a command of his own creation, at no time numbering more than a few hundred kindred spirits, planted himself in a district abandoned to the occupation of the enemy, and, besides capturing a multitude of prisoners and destroying many millions of public property, kept in a defensive attitude, according to their own admission, thirty-five thousand of their troops, which would otherwise have been employed on the active theatre of war. But this was not all. More than once, with his band of followers, he compelled the invading armies to relinquish actual and projected lines of commu. nication, to fall back from advanced positions, and if we may credit the assertion of the Federal Secretary of War, occasioned the loss by the enemy of an important battle. Such deeds deserve the pen of History; and when recorded on her scrolls though in a manner far below the merit of the subject or the dignity of this occasion are worthy to be laid at your feet, ladies of Baltimore. This mode of defensive warfare, as original as it proved effective, deserves to be understood both in its principles and details, the mode of execution in war, as in every other practical science, being of the first importance to success. With this object kept constantly in view, I have observed a great particularity in the relation of what may appear to some minor details, as they constitute a part of the system of defensive warfare which it is the purpose of this book to develop and explain. By the advocates of rectitude and justice in every age and country, by all the lovers of good and haters of evil, let this matchless chief be remembered, for he has invented, and in arms developed, a mode by which, in a more auspicious era, mankind may be enabled to defend their homes and their altars against those wasting and bloody conquerors who murder the independence of nations.
