Charles Cornwallis Chesney

A Military View of Recent Campaigns in Virginia and Maryland Charles Cornwallis Chesney

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 obseiwers of different nations, and of every class of opinion.
