So that we shall give strictly American char

BATTLE GROUNDS OF AMERICA.
"The battle ground of America" is feature
of which we are proud. This we projected
more than two years ago, and Mr.. Peterson
and others at the time began, at our instance,
TO collect letter press materials for these
sketches, as can be proved, if necessary, by a.
host of witnesses. We have now four of
those battle grounds ready TO publish, and
shall give one in the July number. We al
ready occupy the ground, by the possession of
more than dozen of these sketches, and
therefore defy anything more than mere
Sho,0 of competition.
We had conversation with Col. S. ID.
Patterson upon this subject, early last sum-
mer, and hereby acknowledge our indebted
ness to him for valuable suggestions on this
matter We add notes from him and other
gentlemen below.
We have thought proper to meet this ques-
ton, because a similar effort was made to de-
prive US of credit, when in lS4l and 40, the
world was taken by storm with our
mezotint pates-a feature adopt
ed by others long after we had occupied the
field.

zine writers. We therefore bid detGdnce to all
competition in magazine illustrations.
