1909. The book begins: I now recall our part in the battle merely
in a series of detached pictures, having dull, blank spaces
between. Nevertheless, how vividly bright with color each separate
scene photographed itself upon the retina of the eye. I remember
our battery first going into action along the western edge of the
old cemetery, among the billowy graves, the cracked, overturned
stones; I recall the mass of green leaves, checkered by red
blossoms, where the vine clambered over the large monument at our
rear, and how I entangled my foot in the creepers and nearly fell.
I shall never forget the ghastly white face of Rosecrans's aide,
his long brown beard blown backward by force of the wind, as he
came furiously spurring up the road, his head bare, his hand
pointing forward, screaming out his orders; I remember the wild
clang and turmoil as our startled horses plunged to the left,
dragging after them the black guns, with muzzles still smoking
grimly, on a mad, reckless gallop down into the shelter of a
shallow ravine, splashing through the running water, and dashing in
headlong impetuosity up the sharp incline of the opposite bank. See

1908. The book begins: For the scene of this narrative please take
into mind a wide quarter-circle of country, such as any of the
pretty women we are to know in it might have covered on the map
with her half-opened fan. Let its northernmost corner be Vicksburg,
the famous, on the Mississippi. Let the easternmost be Mobile, and
let the most southerly and by far the most important, that pivotal
corner of the fan from which all its folds radiate and where the
whole pictured thing opens and shuts, be New Orleans. Then let the
grave moment that gently ushers us in be a long-ago afternoon in
the Louisiana Delta. See other titles by this author available from

1911. My Lady of Doubt begins: Several of us had remained rather
late that evening about the cheerful fire in front of my hut, -for
the nights were still chilly, although it was May, and the dreadful
winter passed, -discussing the improved condition of our troops,
the rigid discipline of Baron de Steuben, and speculating on what
would probably be attempted now that Sir Henry Clinton had
succeeded to the command of the forces opposing us. I remember
Maxwell joined us, together with Knox of the artillery, each man
with a different theory of campaign, but alike agreeing that, in
spite of all we had endured during those months of suffering and
privation at Valley Forge, the time to strike once again was near
at hand, although our numbers were barely half that of the enemy.
