This posthumous book, published by the author’s family and recording Colonel Livermore’s experiences in the Civil war, was begun immediately after the conclusion of the war, while its events were still fresh in his mind. Henry M. Rogers in his introduction gives a brief sketch of the author’s life.
“Colonel Livermore has been known for a long time by his work on ‘Numbers and losses in the Civil war,’ which has been one of the most valuable contributions to our military history. The work now before us is of an entirely different character and reflects the ability of the author from a new and no less interesting angle.” Eben Swift

“The volume ought to take its place as a real ‘source book’ for commentators on the history of that conflict. There is much of entertainment in the narrative, which is frank to a degree and often vigorous, fresh, and significant in its criticisms.”
