Excerpt from Report of the Secretary of War, Communicating, in Compliance With a Resolution of the Senate of February 13, 1866, the Report of Brevet Brigadier General W. F. Raynolds, on the Exploration of the Yellowstone and the Country Drained by That River In presenting this report I deem it proper to give a short statement of the circumstances under which it has been prepared. The expedition returned to Omaha in October, 1860. After discharging the employ ???s, and settling the accounts of the party, I repaired to Washington with a portion of my assistants, and commenced the preparation of the report. Good progress had been made, and I had expected to have it ready for the following session of Congress, when the breaking out of the rebellion scattered my assis tants, seriously interfering with my work. On the 1st of July, 1861, I reported that, if my services were needed elsewhere, the preparation of the report could be suspended with no other injury than that necessarily incident to delay. On the loth of that month I was ordered to join the army in the field, and shortly after all work was suspended. In the summer of 1862 I was prevented by severe and protracted illness from continuing on duty in the field, and in that condition applied for authority to resume the report, which was granted, provided it did not interfere with the medical treatment I was undergoing. My physician would not consent to my attempting the work. In January, 1863, while yet an invalid, I was again, at my own request, ordered on duty with the army, and another application was made for authority to resume the report. This time, in connection with my other duties, my request was granted, but my other duties prevented any considerable progress being made.
