“This short history of the navy is something more—and less—than a history. A tract—even a good tract—is still a tract and should be so labeled.”

Speed, Capt. Thomas. Union cause in Kentucky, 1860–1865. **$2.50. Putnam.
7–14671.
A study of this special phase of the civil war by an active participant.
“The work has those faults to which the author objects so strongly in the other state historians. The method employed is interesting, but unfortunately not convincing. In spite of Captain Speed’s controversial method, which causes him often to forget facts for arguments and opinions, the work will be found useful, for it is the best available source of information about the Union cause in Kentucky.”
