Excerpt from The Campaign of Koniggratz: A Study of the Austro-Prussian Conflict in the Light of the American Civil War The greater part of the subject-matter of this volume was originally given as a lecture to the officers at the U. S. Infantry and Cavalry School. The kindly reception accorded to the lecture encouraged the author to revise and amplify it, and to publish it in a small volume, which made its appearance ten years ago. Though the first edition was exhausted soon after it issued from the press, a gratifying demand for the book has continued and has prompted the author to revise the work and to present it again to the public.
