Minty and the Cavalry e-bog

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 my comrades in arms, who may differ with me in the ao counts herein contained, I would call to mind the difficulty of getting any considerable number to agree upon all the circum stances Of even the most trivial incident in camp or field; and while I do not pretend to give all the notable or even important events which transpired in our field of operations, I do claim to have sought earnestly to state the exact facts in those noted. In treating of the independent regiments, or parts of regiments, I have, by extensive correspondence, extending over a number of years, arrived at the conclusions given, while in tracing the ope rations of the brigades and the divisions, I have carefully followed the official reports and Official correspondence written at the time. In the accounts Of charges and battles, I have uniformly given credit to those leading the advance, without, in any wise, however, detracting from the important service rendered by those in rear or in reserve.
