Transcriber's Note
Page [20] contains "It was amusing to." This may be missing 'me' from the end of the sentence, or 'to' should have been 'too'. As it is impossible to be certain, it is preserved as printed.
Page [21] contains reference to a sea of mud, followed by "The army slashed around...." Slashed may be a typographic error for splashed, or the author may have intentionally used slashed to indicate hard-going on swampy ground. As it is impossible to be certain, it is preserved as printed.
Variable spelling is preserved as printed when there is a single instance of the word, e.g. Gainsville, canister and cannister, fatigueing, Mannassas, barbacue, underbush and underbrush. Variation in spelling of proper nouns where there is more than one instance has been made consistent, as follows:
