TO GEN. HUGH BRADY, 



OF TIIK I'MTKI) STATES LRMY. 



Sir: 



In prefixing your name to this volume, I am reminded 

 that, while indulging the gratification of personal friendship, 

 I am addressing a soldier, who early entered the field of 



item warfare under the veteran Wayne: and who, for 

 a period of upwards of forty years, during the changing 

 circumstances of war and of peace, has ever been found 

 faithfully, bravely, and honorably serving his country. 



With sentiments of respect, 



HENRY ROWE SCHOOLCRAFT.
