Excerpt from The Fight for the Republic: A Narrative of the More Note-Worthy Events

HE Civil War of 1861 in the United States was a gigantic drama, with no mummery, no painted scenery, no limelight illusion, no artificial thunder, no guarded sword-points, no imaginary daggers, no simu lated passions; it was all dead earnest - powder and steel, destruction, blood, snfiering, and sorrow - triumph in the end, but triumph with nameless graves in the foreground and desolate homes beyond. This drama was set forth on a stage of a million square miles; and with its distinct motive, its clash of theories and inter ests, its critical situations, its development of latent powers, its alternations of expectation and disappoint ment, its plotters and its heroes, its undercurrent set ting steadily ia the same direction and finally bringing to a decisive conclusion - with all these elements in volved, itwasasperfectadramaaspoeteverpenned and players ever presented.
