A failure to secure a complete and thorough record of the military his- tory of the county is no fault of ours. Every effort that was possible was made to this end, and every resource adopted to make it full. Not satis- fied with the many matters of interest in connection with the war that we gathered here, we were determined to exhaust every clue, and to this end we applied repeatedly by letter to Adj. Gen. Wooddell for information that could not be had elsewhere. From some unaccountable cause, whether from carelessness or ignorance, indifference or want of accom- modation, he not only failed to give us the desired knowledge, but failed to treat our request with the ordinary courtesy due from one gentleman to another.
