The dry and somewhat color- less record of the troops from day to day becomes of value when the history of a com- pany or of an army is to be written.

In this light the orders hold a high rank as authoritative records^ and for this reason I have deemed them worthy of publication. The editing of this issue was performed by Mr. fForthington C. Ford.
