FEATURES OF THE PAPER.
The National Tribune makes special
feature of the history and "reminiscences of
the war for the preservation of the Nation.
II publishes in fact the
Only Genuine History
OF that gigantic struggle, for its history is
not a warped and biased panegyric of some
particular man or men, who are given
credit for everything that succeeded. 1t is
made up of the testimony of multitude of
witnesses, the plain and unvarnished sto-
ries OF the men in every rank and degree
who did the marching, digging and shoot
ing and carried forward the war through
all its various phases TO glorious success.

history is everywhere recognized, and its
files are carefully preserved in every large
