MRS. JEa5Iz EEaToS FREMONT IS AN AUTHOR.
Es5.
Mis. Fremont has published book, which
il seems was intended for defence Of her
husband in his Missouri campaign and defal-
cstioas The New York Herald reviews it
in characteristics style, and in defaul! of the
book to read for ourselves, we may take the
review. II says:
Az President Lincoln saEaciously observes,
1--WE cannst eecape history :" and as great bat
tie scenes will some day be painted from the
popular photographs Of the war and its Gene
rals, go great histories will roms day be made
up from the has<y sketches Of our present
writer's Probably with this idea in view Mrs
Fremont has published book detailing tho
story of her husbands body guard, and has
devoted the proceeds of her work to the wild
ows mothers, and orphans of the brave MEN
who fell during the charge At Springfield.
Mira. Ffemouts book consists of a collection
Of General FrSuonts private letters and tcle-
grams, strung together by q very pleasantly
in which a great deal of marching was done,
