Mrs. Livermore won fame in the war.
and she won it in the right way, by
heroic heeds and grand achiey ements
For four years she was one of the most
active nurses in the Union army, and
one of The most successful. Nothing
was too severe for her to undertake, no
risk too great for her to accept in the
performance of her self imposed mis-
SIGN. Now she has told the story of
those terrible years OF heroism, suffer
ing and death, AMI told it in way to
make the tale one of the most enter
tanning of thu times In TO pf ges is
portrayed the angelic side of the bloody
strife OF quarter of century ago. In
the reading one can understand why
Mrs. LiVermore Was such famous
nurse, why she was the Lived
angel after the battle, why she twas
ever so welcome in the hospital, and
why the memory of her is so dear to
the hearts of the thousands who re-
ceived her ninistrations. The pathos
with which she rec0unts the sutforings
of the brave men must have entered
into her work, and the keen humor
running through the story tells plainly
enough of the many rays of sunshine
with which she illuminated and cheered
the hearts of the wounded and dying.
There are lights as we'll as shadows
in hospital life, and we can imagine
that Mrs. Livermore was responsible
for many of the former. Necessarily
book of this kind must at times be
soul stirring and excite indignation, to
think that men ware so cruelty busch-
cred; but the author has endeavored to
avoid the partisan hatred which man
ifests itself in the writings of so many
VINO were on her side of the great con-
tt3t.
The volume is work of art in the
matter of illustrations, being richly
embellished with splendid steel plate
engravings, portraits of well-knoWn
soldiers and famous nurses, pictures OF
battle and hospital scenes, and so Ga. A
most attractive feature are the fac
Sin1ile plates of famous battle flags,
made from paintings and engravlngs.
In these pictures are shown, with
striking exactness, the colors, blood
stains, shot holes and rents Just as they
appear in the originals, now so highly
prized and so sacredly guarded. Ac-
companying these are the stories of the
various flags, and me account of the
death of the color-bearers who died
under the folds of the flags. The
volume deserves a wide sale. and we
are glad to know that it is winning the
popularity 10 which it is entitled.
