HE SECOND BRIGADE, or Camp Life. By
Volunteer. Montpelier L. F. Walton. 1854
This is a book, written in the form Of a diary by
a sergeant, We believe, in the 18th VI. Regiment
and gives doubtless truthful and unvarnishsd
history Of the ordinary, and some extraordinary
Incidents in the camp lie OF the Vermont Second
Brigade 1t is written in on unpre,snding style,
having hardly enough viylcity to keep the atten-
ton Of readers who have known none Of the eI-
perienees OF which the author writes 1t is.
NorS' however, that will prove welcome to the
soldiers Of hs brave Second Brigade, as i, will
furnish them, Il nothing more, at leas, the ssels-
Ion which with their own memory will clothe
the living flesh and blood of then nine month,
campaign, closing in the grand struggle and VIC
tory a, Gettysburg.
