Book Description
Excerpt from A Military View of Recent Campaigns in Virginia and Maryland This book is not offered to the Public as a complete history of the campaigns of which it treats. The Author would consider the task of composing such a work to be greatly beyond his powers, even were it possible for him to have gathered already the necessary material. But there is a peculiarity accompanying the whole progress of the American civil war, which enables it to be discussed in a way that no other such contest has been. For every phase of its greater events - at least of those occurring near the two capitals - has been witnessed and described by numerous observers of different nations, and of every class of opinion.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1863 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IX. Buenside's Change Of Base. As the telegraph wires flashed through the land the words of the simple, manly address in which M'Clellan took leave of his army, they told also that his successor assumed his new charge "with diffidence;" and men naturally inquired on what grounds he had been chosen for so weighty a post. A few months earlier, Burnside had only been known as one of the most fortunate of the many retired military men, whom the commission of a State Governor had suddenly elevated from obscurity into the rank of a general officer. His six years of former employ as subaltern in the regular army, would bear no comparison with the long and active service which Sumner and Hooker had seen previous to this war; even should no regard be paid to the severe trials they had passed through with honour in the late campaigns. Nor were his political principles more acceptable to the Cabinet than theirs, he being, at that time nominally a Democrat. But he had the advantage of his name being unconnected with the disasters which had befallen the armies of the Potomac and Virginia. His easy conquests of Roanoke and Newbern--small posts on the coast of North Carolina--had been magnified, by contrast with other men's defeats, into great achievements. He was young in years; reported active, bold, and careful of the comfort of his troops; and when the President named him to his high office, it was thought by the Ministry that he would be more easily controlled than either of the two veterans whom he seemed to supersede. On such grounds, therefore, the selection was made, and hailed with acclamation by the Government organs as the forerunner of success. He at once carried out the new organization of the army which had been enjoined upon...

Book Description
Excerpt from Military Review of the Campaign in Virginia Maryland, Vol. 2: Under Generals J. C. Fremont, N. P. Banks, Irwin McDowell, Franz Sigel, John Pope, James S. Wadsworth, Wm; H. Halleck, George B. Mc@clellan, and Ambrose Burnside, in 1862 It i's natural that m consequence of all these circumstances, and in consequence of the fierceness and long) duration of the great battle of Antietam, the army of the Potomac, after it had followed Lee to the left bank of the Potomac, should stand sorely in need of shoes, uni forms, ammunition, arms, and of materials of every kind. The fact is large numbers of soldiers had to go barefooted because they had no shoes. 'that such was the actual condition of the army, mcclellan represented to tne Government, and the nation at large was by the thousand means of communication between the army and the people, in every section of the country, fully aware of the fact.
