“This expedition has been so nearly forgotten that the public ought to be under great obligations to Mr. Pittenger for recording at length the bravery and endurance of those who participated in it. While such men exist the republic may never fear for its safety.”—The Sun, N. Y. City.
A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE RECORD.
“The author has consulted every available source of information, has gone repeatedly over the ground, explored the Government archives at Washington and files of Confederate newspapers, and obtained the assistance of survivors on both sides of the struggle. He is thus able to present a vivid, impartial and perfectly authenticated picture of the most romantic event of the civil war, the full story of which has never before been told.” The illustrations also add greatly to the interest and value of the work.
