Dedication
TO GEN. HUGH BRADY,
OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY.
Note
Sir:
In prefixing your name to this volume, I am reminded that, while indulging the gratification of personal friendship, I am addressing a soldier, who early entered the field of western warfare under the veteran Wayne; and who, for a period of upwards of forty years, during the changing circumstances of war and of peace, has ever been found faithfully, bravely, and honorably serving his country.
With sentiments of respect,
HENRY ROWE SCHOOLCRAFT.
