recollections of the 



Civil War. 



By Charles A. Dana. With Portrait. Large 121110. Cloth, gilt top, uncut, $2.00. 



" The book will rank among the trustworthy sources of knowledge 

 of the civil war." — New York Evening Post. 



" Mr. Dana's official position as Assistant Secretary of War while the 

 rebellion was in progress gave him exceptional opportunities of observa- 

 tion which he was keen to take advantage of, while his rare gift of terse 

 and vivid expression enabled him to record what he saw in a series of 

 pen pictures that are little less than instantaneous photographs. The 

 feature par excellence of these reminiscences is their interesting char- 

 acter. . . . He tells you briefly but graphically what he saw, heard, or 

 did himself. One gains a very real and personal knowledge of the war 

 from these recollections." — Chicago Times-Herald. 



" It is a book filled with vitality and warm with strong life. It tells 

 history in the strongest and most impressive manner, and the personality 

 of the writer gives it an additional interest. It is one of the valuable books of the year. ... It is sin- 

 cere, even in its prejudices ; the most original and enduring work of a strong thinker. . . . The book 

 is a most important contribution to the history of our civil war ; it is readable from first page to last, 

 and its vitality will outlast that of more elaborate works on the same subject." — Boston Saturday Even- 

 ing Gazette.

 realism there has thus far been nothing better in the whole war literature." — Bos/on Journal. 



" Clever and picturesque. . . . Over one hundred capital instantaneous photographs illustrate Mr. 

 Hemment's well-written record, and not the least of (he book's recommendations is the outspoken sim-

 evidence of an eyewitness who 'draws the thing as he sees it' and without exaggeration or prejudice." — 

 Sunday-School Times.
