FOOTNOTES1“Switzerland and the Swiss.”2A detailed description of the incidents of the adventure within the lines of the enemy appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, May, 1880, and is repeated in Mr. Byers’ “Last Man of the Regiment.”3Note.--The second edition of this book was printed under my own name. It is the volume from which Boyd Winchester, in his “Swiss Republic,” borrowed so astoundingly, later, forgetting both my name, and the common use all but literary burglars make of quotation marks. Hepworth Dixon, though dead, and un-named, lives on in the book of Mr. Winchester in the same manner.4Details of this incident are related in Mr. Byers’ “Last Man of the Regiment.”5It was almost his last public performance.6This boy, Hamilton Fish, grew to manhood, and was the first American soldier killed for his country on Cuban soil.7The State Department also sent me a letter later, thanking me for my zeal. The publicity I gave to the outrages going on, has also led the Swiss Parliament to change its regulations as to immigration, while our own Congress has adopted severe measures against the traffic in paupers and criminals.8At last Mr. Sargent, tired and disgusted with the situation, resigned his post.9Harper’s Magazine No. 477.10This refers to the Century Co.’s “Battles and Leaders of the Civil War,” for which Mr. Byers was also invited to contribute his article describing Sherman’s Assault at Missionary Ridge, in which he was a participant.11A few evenings before, Secretary Windom had dropped dead while addressing a company of banqueters in New York.12A detailed sketch by me of this remarkable little Republic, appeared in Magazine of American History, December, 1891.
