PUBLISHERS' PREFACE
The outline and incomplete material of An Undivided Union were left among the papers of the late William T. Adams
("Oliver Optic"), and the same notes that were to complete the "Blue and Gray—On Land" series also closed the lifework of America's best-known writer of boys' stories.
There has been a constant demand that this unfinished concluding volume be prepared for publication, and Mr.
Edward Stratemeyer, author of the remarkably popular "Old
Glory" series, based upon the Spanish-American war, undertook the task of picking up the threads of the narrative and carrying it to such a conclusion as was evidently intended. He has performed the work devotedly and successfully, and sustained the harmony of the series to the end.
