NOTE.-It has been made a point to present, in this Index, the names of noted persons and places as fully as possi
ble in the headings, in order to facilitate the reader's reference, through that means, to anecdotes pertaining to partic-
ular scenes and their actors. In the nature of the case, however, this mode of specific designation was practicable
only to a very limited extent, without enlarging the list almost indefinitely; and, therefore, the names of the multitude
of localities, commanders, divisions, corps, regiments, vessels, etc., to which these anecdotes relate, are, in the great
majority of instances, to be found embodied in the reading matter itself, rather than in the indexed titles or textual
captions. It may also be remarked, that nearly five-sixths of the anecdotes which came under notice in the preparation
of this work, were rejected as worthless for preservation; only the best were retained,-thus enabling the volume to
appear in convenient size and handsome and readable type.
