Excerpt from Fagots From the Camp Fire

I. Do not tell of great battles, or Generals, or Presidents, or Kings, and therefore, do not write history. I only define the woes, triumphs, modes of thinking, living, fighting, and dying of scouts and common soldiers. I tell of wild adventures, hideous deaths, and marvelous escap'es. I recite terrible incidents, others ludicrous, and others most pitiful, and if a narrative be rude in expression, significance, or morals.
