Excerpt from Rifle Shots and Bugle Notes: Or, the National Military Album of Sketches of the Principal Battles, Marches, Picket Duty, Camp Fires, Love Adventures, and Poems Connected With the Late War
Under such circumstances, and with this spirit existent, when we all feel again as brothers, of the same kindred, it has seemed to us as though the publication of a volume such as we now present, containing as it does, sketches taken from both elements, would be gladly received and highly prized. Our stories have been drawn from a variety of sources, our battle sketches present diverse views of the same condict - Union and Confederate, and full play is permitted to authors on both sides to tell their stories as they deemed meet and correct from their individual standpoints.
