Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thrilling Incidents of the Wars of the United States
The author has found his task an agreeable one. The history of our country is filled with incidents which do honour to the American character; and every true patriot must feel gratification in perusing the records of those heroic and disinterested actions which shed light and glory on our national annals. If the following pages fail to render full justice to those who have deserved well of their country by high achievements in the field and on the ocean, it is not from any deficiency of zeal in the cause.
So far as his limits would permit, the author has earnestly endeavoured render honour to whom honour duc.
