Excerpt from General Butler in New Orleans: History of the Administration of the Department of the Gulf in the Year 1862; With an Account of the Capture of New Orleans, and a Sketch of the Previous Career of the General, Civil and Military It is, however, of the first necessity to state how this book came to be written, and from what sources its contents have been de rived. In common with the other devotees Of the Union and the Flag, I had watched the proceedings of General butler in Louisiana with interest and approval; and shared also the indignation with which they regarded the perverse misinterpretation put upon his measures by the faction which has involved the Southern States in ruin, and by their neutral allies abroad. Upon the return of General Butler to the North, I wrote to him, saying that I should like to write an account Of his administration of the Department of the Gulf, as well as a slighter sketch of the previous military career of a man who, wherever he had been em ployed, has shown an ability equal to the occasion; but that this could not be done, and ought not to be attempted, without his consent and cc-operation.
