Whilst the armies of the West have already overrun several States and fought great battles, the former has not yet had an opportunity to seek revenge from the conquerors of Bull Run.

He had come to consult with the commander of the army of the Potomac about the measures to be adopted under those grave circumstances. But before we begin the narrative of the new campaign which was preparing in Virginia, we must retrace our steps to relate the events of which the valley of the Mississippi had been the theatre during the spring of 1862.

The Maryland campaign was ended. In the succeeding chapters, which will embrace the second part of the year 1862, we shall see what was the influence of this campaign on military operations in the West, and how the army of the Potomac acquitted itself in the East of the new task imposed upon it by the retreat of its adversaries into Virginia.
