“The source from which it proceeds carries with it sufficient authority as to the correctness of its statements. It will be read generally with interest and will doubtless receive a large circulation.”—“German Reformed Messenger,” Oct. 5.

“This little book should be read by every Pennsylvanian. The scenes therein so simply and yet so touchingly depicted, have no parallel for horror in any war among civilized nations except our own.”—Pittsburg “Evening Chronicle,” Oct. 14.

“I rejoice that this little book has met so rapid a sale, though I anticipated nothing less, as it is certainly one of the most thrilling narratives I have ever read. I shall send for a number of copies to be distributed here.”—Rev. Dr. W. B. Sprague, Albany, N. Y., in a letter to the author, Nov. 1, 1864.
