“The story will be of most interest to military men. To the general reader it seems prolix at times. The characters are fairly well drawn and there are some interesting descriptions of characteristic Filipino warfare.”

A civil war story whose events center about General George H. Thomas. Its historical details, presented from intimate observation, are accurate and show something of the relation of Sherman, Grant and Stanton with Gen. Thomas. There is romance mingled with the alarms of war and a charming heroine to make it worth while.
“As a humble monument to the memory of the commander whom he entitles ‘the noblest Roman of them all’ the book should have special interest for all lovers of civil-war history.”

“Gen. King ... is much more at home in the thick of battle than in the turgid and mystifying love vicissitudes of his hero.”
