"The material for the 'sketch' was roughly gathered by the writer immediately on his return home after the war, while the events were fresh in his memory. This was carefully compared with a similar work prepared by our esteemed commander, General A. M. Manigualt, and with a private correspondence of the writer narrating the events as they occurred, to the lady who is now his wife." Preface.
