Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Critical Sketches of Some of the Federal and Confederate Commanders The papers read before the Military Historical Society of Massachusetts, for the most part, have not been prepared to accord with a preconcerted plan, or with a view to publication. In the process of classification they have arranged themselves in distinctive groups, as set forth in the scheme which appears herein opposite the title-page, illustrating, somewhat connectedly, the operations of the armies in Virginia and of other armies in other parts of the wide region of war. The memoirs in this volume form, in a measure, an epitome of the history of the four years of conflict, as seen from different points of view, in special relation to the leaders and commanders of the greater campaigns, and will serve as an introduction to the monographs on those campaigns in the volumes which will follow in due season. Had the project of the volume been earlier conceived, an effort would have been made to obtain similar critical estimates of other distinguished commanders, upon whom, in crucial moments, the fortunes of the North and of the South depended; to supply some of the deficiencies in the archives of the Society, in this respect, and to extend the range of view, Mr. Ropes has kindly permitted the addition of five re views printed by him in the "Atlantic Monthly" and "Scribner´s Magazine." To the publishers of the magazines acknowledgment for the privilege of republishing these reviews is gratefully made.
