"Most [of these letters]... were written by officers of Burgoyne's army,
and they describe their expedition and their captivity in a very interesting
way. The story of the engagements at Saratoga is told by an
eye-witness, and we learn how many of the American officers looked
and how the American soldiers were clad as well as something of the
home life of the country. Among the letters is one from Gen.
Steuben." Larned's Literature of American history.

J 865
q973-7 T29
"Painstaking and very full history of the Civil War, covering not only
the principal battles by land and sea, but also important skirmishes...
besides describing with diagrams the hospital and ambulance service and
elucidating the manner of organizing and equipping troops, methods
of fortification, treatment of prisoners, and political and civil affairs
incidental to the war. The biographical sketches cover officers of
both armies who died between May 24, 1861, and June 23, 1865...
The narrative is, however, colorless and has the aridity of an encyclopaedia."
Larned's Literature of American history.

thirties and Governor of Virginia, 1855-59. • -He was a special admirer

also for the philosophical digressions in regard to the states right
doctrine." Larned's Literature of American history.
