Excerpt from Official Papers, Letters and Notes, Relating to the War Record of P. W. Stanhope, Major and Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel, U. S. Army

Recognizing the uncertainty of life, and desiring to leave a record of so much of my military career as is possible for me to prepare at this time, I have gathered into book form such of my official, and other papers, as were not lost in the fire that destroyed most of my papers and all of my personal property.

I do this in the hope that, at some distant time, when I shall be dead, my family may read this hook with that interest a long interval of years gives to the personal history of a parent who gave a large portion of his life to the service of his Country, and bore a good share of the perils and sufferings incident to war.

With this object in view this book is affectionately dedicated.
