“An elaborate work for reference rather than for reading. Unfortunately, his methods have serious defects. Notwithstanding the author’s care, misprints may be found, and curiously careless references to printed books. Yet, in spite of its drawbacks, the volume cannot but be highly useful to the student of sources.”

Headley, John William. Confederate operations in Canada and New York. $2. Neale.
One with the incendiaries who tried to burn New York City Nov. 25, 1864, and who escaped amidst the panic to Canada “gives a detailed account of the several mad undertakings, each of which proved a dismal failure but undoubtedly caused much concern and embarrassment to the federal and State authorities. Captain Headley enlisted in the Confederate army early in the war, and prior to his Canadian mission saw much active service in Kentucky and Tennessee. Of this he also writes, his narrative affording fresh glimpses of the campaigns of Bragg, Forrest, and Morgan. His book is one of adventurous interest.” (Outlook.)
“His book is a useful addition to the literature on the war.”
