Other people to whom thanks for assistance are due include the following:
E. B. Long and Earl Schenck Miers read the book in manuscript and made many helpful suggestions. (It should go without saying, of course, that neither of these gentlemen is responsible for any opinions expressed in this book or for any factual errors which may be found in the text.)
Clifford Dowdey generously sacrificed a weekend to guide me about the fascinating but confusing battlefields of the Seven Days’ fighting and shared with me his encyclopedic knowledge of that campaign.
L. Van Loan Naisawald of New York made available the findings of his extensive study of Civil War artillery.
Frank Warner, of Mineola, N.Y., kindly checked the facts in connection with the writing and first singing of the song “Year of Jubilo.”
Donald H. Richards, of Durham, N.H., gave me a copy of his excellent manuscript study of the 5th New Hampshire Volunteers.
Lewis Gannett, editor of the Mainstream of America Series, and Walter I. Bradbury, managing editor of Doubleday & Company, performed their editorial functions in a way that made my task much more pleasant and easy.
To the historians and other staff members of the National Park Service at many Civil War battlefield parks I am very deeply indebted. Without exception, these men have had both the will and the knowledge to be of most substantial assistance.
I am particularly grateful to Mrs. Donna Whiteman, of New York, for speedy and competent typing of this manuscript.
