註釋Dr. Charles Brackett of Rochester, Indiana, found himself in a very strange war in 1861 and 1862. He was part of an invading and occupying Union army west of the Mississippi that fought only minor actions, generally against bands of guerrillas or semi-organized partisans, and only rarely against Confederater regulars. Through Dr. Brackett's letters and journal, we follow the progress of this army from ST. Louis to Pilot Knob, Missouri, and down along the Black River to Pocahontas, Powhatan, and Jacksonport, Arkansas, and finally to Helena on the Mississippi River. Through sheer numbers and power, the Union army inexorably deprived the Confederacy of this immediate Trans-Mississippi area and with it the hope of two stronger Confederate states. Brackett lived this story.--taken from introduction
