Excerpt from The War With Mexico, Vol. 1 of 2
But it will not do to base future action upon the results of experience, unless, indeed, the part which fortune has borne has been fairly considered, and it therefore becomes more than ever important that the record should be exact for the continuance of peace is always uncertain, and governments and people are prone to adopt one course of policy in wars, to a certain degree, regardless of the diverse nature of their enemies. Different views of mili tary matters, which may very truly and properly be taken by writers viewing them from different points, may assist in developing the truth. Cer tainly many written with good intention are re quired, when some are erroneous on account of in accuracies purposely set forth for the furtherance of partial interests.
The present work has been mainly prepared during a period of respite from ordinary profes sioual duties. It is feared that the time has been too short for the undertaking, in consideration of its magnitude and the importance of the subject, but the time at my disposal has nearly expired, and it must be presented as it is.
