Being Extra No. 39 of The Magazine of History with Notes and Queries
RES ardua vetustis novitatum dare; novis auctoritatem; obsoletis, nitorem;obscuris, lucem; fastiditis, graticum; dubiis, fidem; omnibus vero naturam, etnatural sua omnia.
Itaque etiam non assecutis, voluisse abunde pulchrum utque magnificum est.
(It is a difficult thing to give newness to old things, authority to new things, beauty tothings out of use, fame to the obscure, favor to the hateful (or ugly), credit to the doubtful,nature to all and all to nature. To such, nevertheless as cannot attain to all these, it isgreatly commendable and magnificial to have attempted the same.)

EDITOR'S PREFACE
If the author's other book, Army Life on the Pacific, which wereprinted as our Extra No. 30, is a scarce item of Americana,this is even more so, for it was not even published; a fewcopies only having been printed for distribution among LieutenantKip's friends. Hence it is exceedingly rare; a copy being pricedin a recently issued catalogue, at $25.00.
Of the various persons mentioned in its pages, none survives.
CAPTAIN B. L. E. BONNEVILLE, Seventh Infantry, was absent so long on the explorationswhich made him famous, that his name was dropped from the rolls of the Army asprobably dead. On his reappearance he was restored (1836), served through the MexicanWar with the Fourth Infantry, and was retired in 1861. In 1865 he was brevetted brigadiergeneral, and died in 1878, the oldest officer on the retired list.
