Meade, and maps of all the principal battle
fields. In letter to the author concerning
his work, General Hancock says:
I have read your History of the Army of the
Potomac and consider it the most valuable addi-
ton to the military criticism of the war that has
yet appeared in print. BY one who has been so
long identified with that army myself it can
readily be perceived that you have endeayored to
write the truth. / may add that l believe the
Army of the Potomac has been fortunate in its
historian, and that your array of facts win not
hereafter be surpassed in accuracy.
