Introduction: soldiers and citizens Veterans after one year Self-reliance, courage and dignity are imprinted on the faces of these veterans—men of McClernand's corps in their quarters at Memphis, Tennessee, after the costly attempt on Vicksburg by way of Chickasaw Bluffs. Yet they have been soldiers hardly a year—the boy on the right, so slight and young, might almost be masquerading in an officer's uniform. Of such were the soldiers who early in the war fought the South in the flush of her strength and enthusiasm Members of President Lincoln's official family Edwin M. Stanton Secretary of War. Montgomery Blair Postmaster-General. Gideon Welles Secretary of the Navy. Salmon P. Chase Secretary of the Treasury. Hannibal Hamlin vice-president. William H. Seward Secretary of State. Caleb B.

. Trent, a writer and scholar Southern born, should fail to emphasize the lofty personal traits of his hero, Lee; or that Mr. Allen C. Redwood, whose rare privilege it was to fight with Stonewall, should not portray his honest and frank admiration for the most surprising military genius developed by the Civil War. Particularly gratifying to the humanist is the sketch of Sherman, written from the standpoint of the most sympathetic discrimination by a Southern historical student—Professor Walter L. Fleming, of the Louisiana State University. Two groups of portraits accompanying this introduction show veterans of the Union and Confederacy who, by great fortune, are numbered among those few spared in life, health, and activity of pen throughout the half-century since 1861; and who have contributed largely the materials of the Photographic History. Without the note of actuality and reminiscence that runs through the chapters from their pens, this work, despite its conception of gui
