Ohio in the War 1861-65 Volume 1
Excerpt from Ohio in the War
The work owes its origin to Mr. William H. Moore, the senior partner of the house bv which it is published. As early as in the summer of 1863 he visited me in Washington to arrange for its preparation. Its main features were then agreed upon, and he straightway set about procur ing such facts for it as were then accessible. I desire now to add that but for his zeal, courage, and energy the work would probably have failed of completion. It was a part of the contract made by Mr. Moore on behalf of the publishers, that they should procure for me all books, documentary matter, personal statements, etc., necessary for the preparation of the work. In pursuance of this arrangement, they have employed persons of apparent fitness for such service to visit the armies in the field, and, since the close of the war to wait upon officers of regiments, Generals, private soldiers — upon any one, in short, who might be thought able to contribute any fact not yet known or cast light upon any occurrence hitherto ill understood.
