Hie History by Professor Henry W. Elson
Thls'is far more than a collection of pictures however unique
and valuable. 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!

THE SECRETARY OF WAR
. .Although I have long made quite a study of
the great conflict, it has never before really
been brought home to me in the way in which
these pictures do It. H. L. STIMSON.
ARCHBISHOP IRELAND 1
Next to having aken an active part in the
War in its marches and bivouacs, its vigils and
battles, its defeats and victories I rank as a
means of realization of its meaning and value
the attentive inspection of those "Photo
graphs." I should wish a place were given to
them in every home, in every school house, in
every public library of America.
THE CHIEF OF STAFF, U. S. A.
Of great value in giving to our people a bet-;
'ter 'Idea of the Civil War. The photographs are'
very' good. '' , ' LEONARD WOOD.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
A really noteworthy work. The photographs
thus collected are not obly of a permanent val
ue, but will have a steadily increasing value
for the historian as time elapses.
