IN CIRCLING CAMPS. BY Joseph A
Altsheler, author OF "a Herald OF the
West "a Solder of Manhattan Inc
Sun OF Saratoga" etc. New YORK: l..
Appleton & Company. Bound in cloth, y
mo-, 4l9 pages, price, I.50.
'In Circling Camps romance Of the
Civil War, is the latest addition to the list
OF excellent historical novels by Mr.. Ats
heller. In every case ne has endeavored to
present the actual spirits of the period OF
which he writes, SO much SO that when an
carrier book dealing with the relations of
English and Americans just before the
revolution, was published in England, the
English peers took up the matter and made
much OF it, as an evidence Of the persis-
tence Of anti-English sentiment in this
country.
In 'In Clrcling Camps" the fact most
In evidence is the fairness with which both
the sides of the question are treated; an
unprejudiced story of the war between the
States bang something new under the sun.
Written from the standpoint Of a Union
rIa11 ti,,<n n
Jackson and Lee: proud Of being soldier
in the Union army, yet pra;sing in no
measured terms the bravery and dauntlesS
courage OF the boys in gray: believing that
the North was right, yet granting purity OF
motives to the South.
Tho story begins with the scenes incident
to the Inauguration of Lincoln, and in one
OF the earlier chapters, the author makes
one Of his characters a Union soldier, say,
''Now the South knows that slavery Is
wrong, even when she says 1t is not; but
she's been abused so much about it, and
charged with SO many things that she
hasn't done by Northern people-some of
whom are still living in the unlimited
profits of the slave trade, and whose con-
sciences have spoken late-that she's put
her back up, and she says: All right; I've
got slavery and I'm going to keep it; what
ara yol going to do about It?
The book does not profess to be history
of the war, but tells only of that part of it
which might have come under the observa-
ton Of one man Notable features are the
graphic descriptions OF the battles Of Shiloh
and Gettysburg.
OF course. there is q love story bound up
with the soldiers adventures, for daring
In war has ever been linked with gallant
in love-
The style IS vivid, picturesque and dra-
matte, and the book is an acquisition to the
