Excerpt from The Military Telegraph, Vol. 1: During the Civil War in the United States, With an Exposition of Ancient and Modern Means of Communication, and of the Federal and Confederate Cipher Systems; Also a Running Account of the War Between the States

A strong conviction that the members of the United States Military Telegraph Corps, whose services were so essential to the overthrow of the Rebellion, have been unkindly overlooked by the Federal Government and the historian; and the daily increasing indications that their noble work, performed in times and places of greatest danger, was surely passing into unmerited oblivion, on whose brink much of the data collected for this work were found, has alone impelled me to Spend so much of my time as has been necessary to prepare this history.
