Originally published in 1927. Contents Include Foreword Diary-July
11, 1871, to July 17, 1871 Preface Text Appendix Index "The Daily
Impressions Received during the Campaign of 1870, 1871 and only
Cursorily Jotted down in my Diary under Stress of Military Duties I
have Supplemented and Completed since my Subsequent return Home by
Extracts from the Correspondence Regularly Maintained between my
Wife and Myself. On Principle, however, I was Firmly Resolved to
Set down only my Actual, Personal Experiences and Feelings from Day
to Day Consequently no Improvement or Alteration has been made
under the Influence of Later Events. Thus my Diary is a
Contribution to the History of that Great and Memorable War,
Containing also much Information, Hardly to be found elsewhere,
Throwing Light on the Events of which the outside World takes a
View Differing Widely from the Reality. Similarly, the Character of
Prominent Personages will often wear another aspect than that in
which the Present Age and History represent it. But Revelations of
this kind are not for Contemporaries to know I therefore direct
that no one else but my Wife and my Grown-up Children is to examine
my Diary till the year 1922 is ended. After that there is nothing
to Hinder it's Publication." Illustrated with photographs. Many of
the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home
Farm Books are republishing these classic works in affordable, high
quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
