"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 observation 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 character....

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_.
