Osborn, Hartwell, and others. Trials and triumphs: the record of the Fifty-fifth Ohio volunteer infantry. [*]$2.50. McClurg.
“The Fifty-fifth Ohio was recruited in Huron county (of which Norwalk is the county-seat), after the reverses at Bull Run had stirred the North to greater efforts; it had its full share of the campaigns in Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia, and of the terrible work at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. This is related with clearness and graphic power by Captain Osborn; and, besides the narrative, the book is unusually complete in regimental statistics, sketches of officers and citizens, and personal notes and recollections of soldiers. Photographs, both ‘wartime’ and modern, have been reproduced in profusion.”—Dial.
“The work is in every way a real contribution to the literature of the great struggle.”
