There is certain portion of the war that will
never go into the regular histories, nor be en-
bodied In romance or poetry, which is very re-
al part OF 1t, and will, if preserved, convey to
succeeding generations better idea of the spirit
OF the conflict than many dry reports or careful
narratives OF events, and this part may be called
the gossip, the fun, the pathos of the war. This
illustrates the character of the leaders, the HUI
NOR OF the soldiers, the devotion of women, the
bravery OF men, the pluck of our heroes, the ro-
nance and hardships of the service.
The Valiant and Brave Hearted, the Pictu-
