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.
