Excerpt from History of the Campaign of the Army of Virginia: Under John Pope, Brigadier-General U. S. A.; Late Major-General U. S. Volunteers; From Cedar Mountain to Alexandria, 1862 This volume contains the entire history of the campaign of the "Army of Virginia," from the Rapidan to Alexandria, beginning with the close of the battle of Cedar Mountain. The work is complete in itself, and follows the plan of the "History of the Second Massachusetts Regiment" and the campaigns in which it took part, previously published at different periods in three parts. It may not be out of place to explain that the present and previous histories were prepared by the author of the present volume at the request of the surviving officers of the Second Massachusetts Regiment of Infantry. It was intended to present and read, at the annual meeting of the officers, papers in which the more prominent events in their regimental history should be given.
