The Blue and the Gray.
By Rev Theodore Gerrish, Private in the Army of the Potomac, author of Reminiscences of the War, and Rev. John S. Hutchinson, Private in the Army of Northern Virginia.
Bangor, Me: Brady, Mace & Co. 1884.
We have received from the publishers (through their agent, Captain James G. Read, corner Fifth and Clay streets, Richmond) a copy of this well gotten — up book.
The preface avows as the objects of the book to give a full and impartial history of the campaigns of these two grand armies, showing the relative forces engaged, &c., to preserve the incidents, reminiscences and amusing anecdotes of the private soldiers of both, and to show the fraternal feelings which now exists between the soldiers of these once fiercely opposing armies.
