The reader may desire to know why the sketches of other persons who aided in the capture of Morgan are not in this work. It would have given the author great satisfaction to have given sketches of General Judah, Golonels Crittenden, Wolford, Major Fishback, and other officers and privates who did their duty nobly in the pursuit of Morgan; but that would have made the work much larger than the author designed it to be. He, therefore, concluded to give sketches of such officers only as will be necessary to give to the reader a clear and full understanding of the pursuit and capture of Morgan.
