Excerpt from Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, Vol. 1: Part I.; Being for the Most Part Contributions by Union and Confederate Officers, Based Upon "the Century War Series"On the 17th of July, 1883, Mr. Buel, assistant-editor of The Century magazine, proposed in detail a magazine series by prominent generals ofboth sides. The original suggestion (based upon the success of two articles from different points of view on the John Brown raid, in The Century for that month) was of eight or ten articles, on the decisive battles of the war, and included in the main the features of the expanded series. Mr. R. W. Gilder, the editor-in-chief, at once cordially adopted the suggestion, com mitting the charge of its execution to Mr. Johnson, the associate-editor, assisted by Mr. Buel; from the start Mr. Gilder has aided the work by his counsel, and by the support of his - confidence in its success and public use fulness - ends which could not have been attained except for the liberal and continued support of Roswell Smith, Esq., President of The. Century Co. The elaboration of the first plan, the securing of the contributions, and the shaping and editing of the series were shared by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Buel, the former devoting the more time to the work during the months of organ ization, and the latter having entire charge of the editing for nearly the whole of the second year. The course of the series in magazine form was from November, 1884, to November, 1887.That the plan and the time of the enterprise were alike fortunate, may be estimated from the unprecedented success of the articles. Within six months from the appearance of the first battle paper, the circulation of The Century advanced from to copies, or to a reading audience estimated at two millions. A part of this gain was the natural growth of the periodical. The still further increase of the regular monthly issue during the first year of the serial publication of Messrs. Nicolay and Hay's Life of Lincoln (1886 - 87) has proved the permanent character of the interest in important contribu tions to the history of the Civil War.The present work is a natural sequence of the magazine series, and was provided for before the publication of the first paper. Both the series and this expansion of it in book form are, in idea as well as in execution, an outgrowth of the methods and convictions belonging to the editorial habit of The Cen tury magazine. The chief motive has been strict fairness to the testimony of both sides, and the chief endeavors have been to prove every important state ment by the Official Records and other trustworthy documents, and to spare no pains in the interest of elucidation and accuracy. These ends could not have been attained without the cordial cooperation as writers, and assistance as interested actors, of the soldiers of both sides; in these respects the aid rendered by veterans, from the highest rank to the lowest, has been unstinted, and would be deserving of particular mention if such were possible within the bounds of an ordinary preface. Nearly every writer in the work, and very many others whose names do not appear, have been willing sources of suggestion and information. Special aid has been received from General James B. Fry, from the late Colonel Robert N. Scott, who was the editorial head of the War Records office, and from his successor, Colonel H. M. Lazelle; and thanks are due to General Adam Badeau, George E. Pond, Colonel John P. Nicholson, Colonel G. C. Kniffin, and to General Marcus J. Wright, Agent of the War Department for the Collection of Confederate Records.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
