Reminiscences that are important for their German-American quality. “There are two characteristics of this attractive autobiography which should commend it to the study of the general reader. It is in the first place the account of an individual brought up with all the advantages of German education, amid all the associations of monarchism, and with prospects of success in his own country, whose convictions and predilections drove him into the arms of American republicanism.... In the second place, it throws a new light on the events of recent American history.” (Lit. D.)
“With the externals of this work one might easily pick a few quarrels. Either the proofreading has been lamentably careless in a considerable number of instances, or else bad editorial judgment has religiously followed mere slips of the pen in the original manuscript. All this, however, cannot seriously detract from the value of the really great biographical works of recent years.” W. H. Johnson.

“The whole character of the work is one of frank and easy self-revelation. It is full of personal anecdote, personal adventure, personal opinion. Those who take it up are not likely to put it aside until they have read the whole of it, and, indeed, it is well worth reading both as a source of interest and an inspiration.”

“They throw much light on the stormy politics of the time, on the characters and attainments of the leaders on either side, and on the temper and methods of party action. It is not too much to say that Lincoln cannot fully be known without this study.” Edward Cary.
