General Walker served through the war with the famous Second Army Corps, and writes, there¬ 
fore, from personal knowledge ; but, aside from this qualification, he is to an unusual degree fitted 
for the task of preparing this historical and personal account of the Corps by his gift for vivid and 
powerful writing. 
The Second Army Corps was one of the five original corps organized by President Lincoln. It 
remained in service during the entire war, captured forty-four Confederate flags before it had lost a 
color of its own ; numbered among its commanders, Sumner, Couch, Warren, Hancock, and Humph¬ 
ries, and among its Generals of Division, Sedgwick, Howard, Miles, Webb, Gibbon, French, Barlow, 
and Birney: made the greatest assault at Marye’s Heights ; bore the brunt of Longstreet’s charge at 
Gettysburg ; made a noble record at Spottsylvania ; fought the last infantry battle of the war against 
the Army of Northern Virginia, and left nearly 40,000 men on the various fields of Virginia, Maryland, 
and Pennsylvania. 
The history of the Second Army Corps, by virtue ot its extraordinary activity and achievements, 
is really the history of the war in the East, and the exceptional value of General Walker’s work is 
self-evident

“There is something fascinating in the atmosphere of a book like this, containing the inforrnal 
talk of an old General, whose heart is light, whose manner is hearty, and who lives and revels m the 
old war times. Such a book draws many a reader, and touches the heart of soldiers who fought 
among the battles and are familiar with the scenes described .”—Brooklyn Union.
