The history of the civil war is supplemented in this volume by stories which, though cast in the form of fiction, present the atmosphere of the times and give a vivid picture of some of the thrilling episodes which actually took place. They include boyish tales of a midshipman, a blockade runner, an adventure with guerillas, a raw recruit, how Cushing destroyed the “Albemarle,” President Lincoln and the sleeping sentinel, the battle of the “Monitor” and “Merrimac”, and Sheridan’s ride and Lee’s surrender, as told by Robert Shackleton, John Habberton, Captain Howard Patterson, L. E. Chittenden, General Fosythe and others.
