Source:, 1970. 363 pages. First published in 1880, this is a reprint of the 1880 edition. "To supply one quota of the inside history of the great Abolition war, is the primary object of this work; but scarcely secondary in this object is that of recording incidents characteristic of the Peculiar Institution overthrown that struggle. Another object, and one which struggles for precedence, is to give an inside history of the hospitals during the war of the Rebellion that the American people may not forget the cost of that Government so often imperiled through their indifference."
