For one hundred and twenty years the U.S. Government has at intervals destroyed by the ton such records as escaped the usual ravages of fire, damp, collectors, and negligent custodians, because there has been no place in which they could be gathered, and the keeping was troublesome to local officials. This destruction has been entrusted to no particular officer, and no careful examination of the material by one possessing historical training or instinct has been made previous to the destruction. Historical scholars are so little given to public controversy that they can greet with peculiar satisfaction such a forcible expression of their opinion as that contained in your recent editorial on the records of the Adjutant-General's office. |
