Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. To President Hayes and the Departments of State and War under his administration, as well as that of his predecessor, to Generals Sherman and Sheridan, to the adjutant-general's and the Engi neer Departments, and to many officers of distino tion in the army and navy, I am indebted for assist ance and facilities which have contributed greatly to the correctness and completeness of my work.
