About this book
Forty-Six Years in the Army is a book by Lieutenant-General John M. Schofield. The volume is dedicated to the young citizens whose patriotism, valor and military skill must be the safeguard of the interests, the honor and the glory of the American Union. The text says an old army colonel described a West Point graduate reporting for duty after graduating leave as a very young officer with a full supply of self-esteem, a four-story leather trunk filled with good clothes, and an empty pocket. The writer says he gave information to General Thomas, in the night of the 15th, that Hood would not retreat without another fight.
The text grants that the supply of arms was deplorably deficient in 1861, but says the South was only a little better off than the North in that regard. The writer says it required only a wise use of the national resources to overwhelm the South before the spring of 1863.
