- reprint of 1881 edition.
So much has been written on this subject that it would not at first appear to be a difficult matter to condense the various accounts ; but to the writer's task has been added the special work required in comparing and collating for careful investigation the new material gathered by the War Department, and now for the first time made the basis of a history of that period. The results of that labor he resents in these pages.
A note from the publisher: We are very proud to present this third part of the series "Campaigns of the Civil War" to all Kindle readers. It has taken some time to review and optimize this 1881 book for the needs of the 21st century. What you hve here is not a scanned or photgraphed version of the orginal text, but the original text reworked and put into a real ebook. The original maps are included!
