Excerpt from One Year in the Civil War: A Diary of the Events From April 1st, 1864, to April 1st, 1865 The proof reader of this little book wishes to say that his love and admiration and pride for its writer has been deepened and widened for having gone with him through his daily chroniclings of this last year of the great civil conflict. There is never a compromise of right, never a faltering from duty, not one word of bitterness, only a deep regret at all times for the unhappy condition of his country. After reading it and seeing again the ter rible havoc that war made; the dead, the dying, the wounded, the sick, the tired foot-sore and weary soldier, the sufferings of helpless women and children, the de struction of property, the wreck and ruin every where, the proof reader joins with General Sherman in saying.
