Excerpt from The Thinking Bayonet A little more than a year ago, the writer published some portions of a diary of military life, under the title of "The Color-Guard, " - a little book which met with unexpected favor. There remained in his hands many pages of his journal, which, according to good authority, were, in interest, not much behind the parts given to the public. The writer had at hand, moreover, certain records of observations made in South Carolina and Georgia, at an important time, and under unusual advantages, and, in addition to this, he retained a recollection of personal experience at localities in the West, close upon the "front, " and of some note in the war. With this material in his possession, a series of literal sketches was at first projected, but, finally, a work of fiction was decided upon, in which the fact derived from actual observation and experience should be incorporated.
