Excerpt from Journal of Two Campaigns of the Fourth Regiment of U. S. Infantry in the Michigan and Indiana Territories: Under the Command of Col. John P. Boyd, and Lt. Col. James Miller, During the Years 1811,& 12 When the Author of the succeeding pages had determined on recording the events and operations of the Regiment to which he belonged, it was far from his intention to give them publicity. - They were noted down for the amusement of his leisure hours and the perusal of his Friends, when he should return from the toils of the Camp and the fatigues of war; - to portray to the view of those Friends the various vicissitudes of fate attendant on the life of a Soldier. - But since his return, many who have perused the manuscripts, have expressed their ardent desire to see it published, and to gratify their wishes, he has been induced to submit it to the press. - He indulges the hope that his simple narrative will fall into the hands of none but the candid and liberal, who affect not to despise the humble and unvarnished tale of the Private Soldier.
