ed, and with the contribution of facts aud papers
by many of the Generals associates in civil and
military life, aided by his own knowledge Of
events occurring within the last twenty years,
the Author hopes to produce Work worthy of
the confidence and patronage Of the American
people.

ing sccncsA his cventful life. 1t will be 50 az
