Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of Major-General John Pope, 1863: Letter From the Secretary of War, in Answer to Resolution of the House of 18th Ultimo, Transmitting Copy of Report of Major General John Pope General: I have the honor to submit the following report of the Operations of the army under my command during the late campaign in Virginia. Several of the reports of the corps commande1s have not yet reached me, but so much time has elapsed since the termination of the campaign that I do not feel at liberty to withhold this report longer. The strange misapprehension Of facts concerning this campaign which, though proceeding from irresponsible sources, has much possessed the public mind, makes it necessary for me to enter more into detail than I should otherwise have done, and to embody in the report such of the despatches and orders sent and received as will make clear every statement which is contained in it.
