Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Campaign in Mexico When the author of the following pages commenced the pub lication of his Reminiscences in the Nashville Union, he expected to complete his undertaking in a very few numbers, which would never go beyond the columns of the newspapers. The only objects which he had in view in writing, were to improve himself, and at the same time, to place before the country the real merits of the Regiment of Volunteers of which he had beena member. He was induced, however, by the attering oommen dations bestowed on his first numbers, accompanied by the urgent solicitations of many of his companions in arms, to extend his original design, and enter into a full history of the operations of the Bloody First in Mexico. Before these numbers were concluded, he received numerous applications from esteemed friends, to collect and republish, in a form more convenient for preservation, the whole - series. In compliance with these appli cations the following pages are submitted to the public. In detailing the history of the campaign in Which-his Regiment was engaged, he has endeavored to be strictly impartial, and he indulges the h0pe that in his narrations he has done injustice to none. If he has failed in this, it has resulted from his inabil ity to procure all the facts in each transaction which he has detailed. He has, as yet, heard of no complaint on this score, and, therefore, he trusts that his sketches will be entitled to the merit of impartiality.

Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck (20 March 1870 – 9 March 1964) was a general in the Imperial German Army and the commander of its forces in the German East Africa campaign. For four years, with a force that never exceeded about 14,000 (3,000 Germans and 11,000 Africans), he held in check a much larger force of 300,000 British, Belgian, and Portuguese troops. Essentially undefeated in the field, von Lettow-Vorbeck was the only German commander to successfully invade imperial British soil during World War I. His exploits in the campaign have come down "as the greatest single guerrilla operation in history, and the most successful." [Source: Wikipedia]
