Excerpt from Journal of an Excursion, From Troy, N. Y., To Gen. Carr's Head Quarters, at Wilson's Landing, (Fort Pocahontas, ) on the James River, Va., During the Month of May, 1865I would also state in this place what would almost seem unnecessary from the foregoing, that it is but a simple narrative of what we saw and heard during our brief trip, without the least attempt at rhetorical display, but merely narrating what came under our observation during our ten days visit to the James River, and the vicinity of Richmond.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
