Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Smith College Studies in History, Vol. 7: Major Howell Tatum's Journal While Acting Topographical Engineer (1814) To General Jackson Commanding the Seventh Military District
Major Tatum's Journal exists in his own hand. In the Jackson Manuscripts in the Library of Congress are some stray sheets in Tatum's handwriting which may have been a part of the draft from which the completed Journal was prepared. The fair copy is in the Office of the Chief Engineer of the army and the copy from which the publication now offered to the public has been made was furnished to the editor through the kindness of Major Thomas M. Robins, Corps of Engineers.
