Excerpt from The Camp-Fires of General Lee: From the Peninsula to Appomattox Court-House; With Reminiscences of the March, the Camp, the Bivouac and of Personal Adventure
"The Camp-Fires of General Lee" aims to be a truthful narrative of the great part played by the Army of Northern Virginia under its illustrious commander in the most terrific campaigns of modern times. When the wounding of General Johnston, early in the war, compelled him to turn over his command to General Lee, the latter entered upon such a display of generalship that he speedily proved himself one of the foremost military leaders of the century. His campaigns represented the highest development of the science of war, and will command admiration for ages to come.
The history of those brilliant man?uvres, grand combinations and tremendous battles cannot be studied too closely by American youth.
