From the SNOWFALL battle to that of

desultory, one-sided fashion OF what will
always be a one-sided affair. 1t is q
timely publication. 1t comes at a time
when Americans, after thirty years bow
ing acquaintance, have learned how to
shake hands with the true American
grasp. 1t will stir none of the old ILL
feeling. 1t is simply a book that if
bought by Northern men will help to
teach them why the Southern boys who
went to the front in 1898 did so because
they We're proud of and not ashamed of
their fathers and grandfathers. And
tumeIy Tor the men who opposed them,
it will bring to the honorsd wearers of
the Gray hours of reminiscent pleasure.
The book is a handsomely printed
compilation Of the tales and the songs
and the lests OF the days long dead. 1t
is big book and an entertaining book,
book with good stories and plenty of
pictures and a book without q faint of
bitterness.
The above is what one of the lead
