PREFACE.



ITITH the main purpose in its origin of interesting veterans in their own
Ai memories and of instructing the generation which has grown up since
the War for the Union, the " Century War Series," through peculiar circum-
stances, has exerted an influence in bringing about a better understanding
1)etween the soldiers who were opposed in that conflict. This influence, of
which substantial evidence has been given, North and South, lends additional
historical interest to the present work. Many commanders and subordinates
have here contributed to the history of the heroic deeds of which they were a
part. General Grant, who, in accord with the well-known purpose of President
Lincoln, began at Appomattox the work of reconciliation, contributed to the
War Series four papers on his greatest campaigns, and these are here included.
They were written before his severe illness, and became the foundation of
his " Personal Memoirs." The narrative of his battles, continued under the
tragic circumstances of the last year of his life, retrieved his fortunes and
added a new laurel to his fame. The good temper and the unpartisan char-
acter of his articles, and of the papers by the leading writers on both sides,
are the most significant signs in these pages. For the most part, each side
has confined controversy to its own ranks, and both have emphasized the
benefit as well as the glory of the issue. Coincident with the progress of the
series during the past three years, may be noted a marked increase in the
number of fraternal meetings between Union and Confederate veterans,
enforcing the conviction that the nation is restored in spirit as in fact, and
that each side is contributing its share to the new heritage of manhood and
peace.
  On the 17th of July, 1883, Mr. Bued, Assistant-Editor of "The Century"
magazine, proposed in detail a magazine series by prominent generals of
                                    ix

 



both sides. The original suggestion (based upon the succes of two articles
from different points of view on the John Brown raid, in " The Century" for
that month) was of eight or ten articles on the decisive battles of the war,
and included in the main the features of the expanded series. Mr. R. W.
Gilder, the Editor-in-Chief, at once cordially adopted the suggestion, com-
mitting the charge of its execution to Mr. Johnson, the Associate-Editor,
assisted by Mr. Buel; from the start Mr. Gilder has aided the work by his
counsel, and by the support of his confidence in its success and public use-
fulness-ends which could not have been attained except for the liberal and
continued support of Roswell Smith, Esq., President of The Century Co. The
elaboration of the first plan, the securing of the contributions, and the
shaping and editing of the series were shared by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Buel,
the former devoting the more time to the work duiing the months of organ-
ization, and the latter having entire charge of the editing for nearly the whole
of the second year. The course of the series in magazine form was from
November, 1884, to November, 1887.
  That the plan and the time of the enterprise were alike fortunate, may be
estimated from the unprecedented success Ad the articles. Within six months
from the appearance of the first battle paper, the circulation of " The Century "
advanced from 127,000 to 225,000 copies, or to a reading audience estimated
at two millions. A part of this gain was the natural growth of the periodical.
The still further increase of the regular monthly issue during the first year
of the serial publication of Messrs. Nicolay and Hay's Life of Lincoln (1886-87)
has proved the permanent character of the interest in important contribu-
tions to the history of the Civil War.
  The present work is a natural sequence of the magazine series, and was
provided for before the publicatik - 4 the first paper. Both the series and this
expansion of it in book form are, in idea as well as in execution, an outgrowth
of the methods and convictions belonging to the editorial habit of "The Cen-
tury" magazine. The chief motive '8ss been strict fairness to the testimony of
both sides, and the chief endeavors hlasse been to prove every important state-
ment by the " Official Records " and 'ther trustworthy documents, and to spare
no pains in the interest of elucidation and accuracy. These ends could not have
been attained without the cordial cooperation as writers, and assistance as
interested actors, of the soldiers of both sides; in these respects the aid
rendered by veterans, from the highest rank to the lowest, has been unstinted,
and would be deserving of particular mention if such were possible within
the bounds of an ordinary preface. Nearly every writer in the work, and
very many others whose names do not appear, have been willing sources
of suggestion and information. Special aid has been received from General
James B. Fry, from the late Colonel Robert N. Scott, who was the editorial
head of the "War Records" office, and from his successor, Colonel H. M.
Lazelle; and thanks are due to General Adam Badeau, George E. Pond,
Colonel John P. Nicholson, Colonel G. C. Kniffin, and to General Marcus
J. Wright, Agent of the War Department for the Collection of Confederate
Records.

  Material for the illustrations, which form a most striking and not the least
important feature of the work, has been received from all sides, as will be
noted in the table of contents. Special acknowledgment is due to the Boston
Commandery of the Loyal Legion, to whose complete set of the Gardner and
the Brady photographs, as well as to other material, access has been had
from the beginning of the series. Colonel Arnold A. Rand, Secretary of the
Boston Commandery, and General Albert Ordway have rendered valuable
aid in connection with the Brady and the Gardner photographs and in other
ways. The importance of accuracy has been kept constantly in view in
tie preparation of the illustrations-a laborious work which has been exe-
tnted under the direction of Alexander W. Drake, Superintendent, and W.
I wis Fraser, lManager, 4f the Art Department of The Century Co.
