Not ' only, is every picture completely described a feature of the utmost value and true only of the present work but there Is alBO It clear, interesting story of the battle or events from the ' masterly pen of Professor Henry W. Elson, of Ohio University. Like the photographs, the text of THE CIVIL WAR THROUGH , THE CAMERA is surprising. It is absolutely different from any and all of the histories you are used to. It Is the kind of history you will like you will want your children to know and, best of all, the sort they will read without any urging.' .For it is as fascinating as a fairy tale. ' 1 ' ' , " - 1 : It is a lesson In patriotism they will never forget More than that it is absolutely fair and impartial. The day has long since passed when' we can afford to take sides, or tell a big story from only one point of view. This is the biggest of our Btories, . and it has been told from a National viewpoint. Both sides have had their say and the facts nave been allowed to speak for themselves. The resultant work represents United America with its pride la the valor of the Blue and Gray alike!
