"In view of the author's rich material his well-known trustworthiness and graphic descriptive powers the publishers feel justified in predicting a work of unusual interest containing more of the fact incident and romance of the war than any other which has yet appeared." NEW YORK TIMES April 1865.<br /> <br /> "The remarkable Civil War career of famous New York "Tribune" journalist Albert D. Richardson iss packed with more action intrigue and danger than many of his colleagues. Like war correspondents today Richardson reported from where the shells were flying and men were dying. He was also a Union spy. He reported from the south before the war and from "Bleeding Kansas" in the fifties. He met with and discussed the war with Abraham Lincoln before heading to Vicksburg. That's all here in his classic book. And in 1863 Richardson and the other famous "Tribune" correspondent Junius Browne were captured while trying to run the Confederate batteries protecting the river at Vicksburg. They spent 20 months in harrowing prison conditions until their dramatic and dangerous escape through enemy territory. It's a story that should be known by every American. Richardson aspired to great literary writing but along with the danger there is plenty of wonderful humor." from Google Books. American Publishing Company hardcover
