Excerpt from Notes Taken During the Expedition Commanded by Capt. R. B. Marcy, U. S. A. Through Unexplored Texas, in the Summer and Fall of 1854
These desultory Notes, taken merely to refresh my memory when recurring. To scenes so fraught, to me, with interesting reminiscences, would never have met the public eye had it not been for the kind and flattering solicitations of friends who have perused my journal; and if, by putting them in print, I can excite one-half the interest and pleasure with the general reader which the expedition gave me, I shall be amply repaid for the time spent and the care taken in writing my book.
