"Originally beginning as a serialized column in the Armed Forces service paper 'National Tribune, ' this book is a collection of the memories and observations of Judson Knight, former Chief Scout of the Army of the Potomac from August 1864 to June 1865. In his column Fighting Them Over Again, Knight offers a rare glimpse into the comings and goings of scouts behind enemy lines during the Civil War ... Working within a newly growing military intelligence field, Knight details his daring and resourceful experiences, often taking orders directly from General Grant himself."--Jacket.
