Description
Excerpt from Active Service
Although the writer''s endeavors have been varied and experiences unusual, they have in no way justified belief in his fitness to write a book.
Many friends have, from time to time in more than thirty years, admonished me that my inditing, in permanent record, incidents which had come within my personal experience and knowledge, was a duty I owed to them, to the public, and to the correct presentation of certain historic data of importance.
Henry Watterson, my comrade and life-long and loyal friend, has demanded of me that I go along and write.
