INTRODUCTORY.
Believing it would prove interesting and profitable to all the old members of the 125th, we have concluded to append the official reports of the brigade since the beginning of the Atlanta campaign; and the fact that they were made by the only surviving field officer of the regiment, who, as lieutenant colonel, commanded the brigade through more than ten months of its greatest perils, will not, we feel very sure, detract from their interest.
By the opening of the campaign, the regiment and brigade were very nearly rid of their weakly men and inefficient officers, and were well prepared to engage in the arduous duties before them.
Prior to the spring of '64, the whole brigade was largely in the school of preparation, but from that time forward, always in the field of labor and danger.
It must be remembered that official reports are limited to the recital of acts done by the whole body, or some portion of it, in obedience to orders, or the general plan of operations, and a description of the performance of such acts, but the commander may not, like the independent historian, indulge in generalities, individual opinion and criticism, or extended personal mention. This difference will be more apparent when the reader compares the reports with the author's accounts of the same subject matter.
With this introduction, we present the official reports of our most important campaigns.
