Gen. Longstrest was one Of the very hardest
lighters that the late so called Southern Csnfsd-
eracy had He was soldier Of high intelligence
and unoonquorable resolution. No subordinate
commander in the rebel army gave rs % much
trouble az he. At the conclusion Of the war hs
fully accepted its resalts, and has since been
true in his support Of the Government. Gen.
Grant had the highest opinion Of him, and one
of his first acts as President was to appoint him
Collector OF the Port of New Orleans. In this
book he gives vivid account of the operations
Of the war as he saw them, and he saw very
much core OF them than any other man in the
rebel army, except Gen. Leo. He Is strong, sim
cere, and earnest, and says what he believes.
While no man in the South had more admire
tion for Gen. Lee than ne. yet he was not blind
to Lees faults and mistakes. and does not hesi.
tate to speak of them. This is what haG
brought down upon him the bitter enmty Of
the whole coterie of Southernsrs who insist
that Lee was q demi-god who could not make
mistake. Gen. Longstreet's accounts of the
battles in Virginia, Of Gettysburg, of Chicka-
mauga, and the siege OF Knox willie are of thrill-
ing interest. He tells exactly what the rebela
had IN view, what they attempted to accom-.
plish, what success they had, and with what
courage and skill they were opposed by the
