Though our record was demanded immediately upon the close of our service, the nature of the work, involving the collection of the material, the leisure and disposition of authorship, and the responsibility of publication, made it impracticable till the Veterans had united in an Association. No pains have been spared to make our record accurate.

We give only summary views of the con?ict, and pass by necessity to the particular work given to our hands. It must suffice us to give our regi mental experiences strange and momentous enough for one volume, since the execution of the heaviest siege work of the war fell to our lot, and our guns were engaged from the everglades of Florida to the Capital of the Con federacy.
