We have just received the new edition
of Ohio in the War, by Whitelaw Reid.
1t is grand and valuable work, and
should be in the library of every Buck
eye home. The entire press of the
country speaks of it in highest terms.
The Cincinnati Gazette says of it:
The authors plan divided his task in.
to three parts First, the exhibition of
the home history of the State through
the war. Second, to furnish biographies
of general officers, whether born IN or
appinted from the State. Third, to trace
in outline the history of each regiment
sent out, with the roster of its officers,
and the leading facts in it's organization
and service. Under the first of the
} three divisions very complete and
readable narrative is given. The con.
. dition OF Ohio at the outbreak of
hostilities is portrayed the early legis-
lation in the new emergencies described
and the abandonment of party and pro.
