A Romance of the American Civil War. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“Mr. Altsheler has an enviable reputation. His method is that of Fenimore Cooper.... In 'In Circling Camps’ he tells a good, strong, human story for its own sake, and not for the sake of showing off his talent as a literary story-teller. He gives us some great battle pieces, notably Shiloh and Gettysburg. His admiration of the nobler qualities of 'old friends turned foes’ is so hearty and so sincerely dramatic that we love and pity the terrible valor of both.”—Richard Henry Stoddard, in the New York Mail and Express.
“The author seeks to interpret some of the situations of the civil war, and read to us out of the well-known records the story of personal bravery, the drama of personal history, and the old story of love which went on behind the grim scenes of war.”—Philadelphia Call.
