By CHARLES A. DANA. With Portrait. Large 12mo. Cloth, gilt top, uncut, $2.00.
"The book will rank among the trustworthy sources of knowledge of the civil war."—New York Evening Post.
"Mr. Dana's official position as Assistant Secretary of War while the rebellion was in progress gave him exceptional opportunities of observation which he was keen to take advantage of, while his rare gift of terse and vivid expression enabled him to record what he saw in a series of pen pictures that are little less than instantaneous photographs. The feature par excellence of these reminiscences is their interesting character.... He tells you briefly but graphically what he saw, heard, or did himself. One gains a very real and personal knowledge of the war from these recollections."—Chicago Times-Herald.
