Mr.. Page had his share of the trials of the
correspondent. and thus graphically describes
some OF them:
You special" 1t is far into the night
the night, and have only had your ablu-
tion and your supper. You begin: squat like
toad before camp fire; stumpy lead pencil
and smoke in your eyes, dingy paper and
ashes puffed into your face; no part OF you that
has not its special pain and torment Your
brain is in a state OF confusion worse con-
founded" Your eyes will shut, your pencil Will
YOU. write. Do you forget hat you are
special and must write? Force yourself 10
the rack, tug away. bear on hard and When you
done, do not read ii over or you VIII throw
1t into the fire. Now arrange with the guard TO
have yourself awakened at daybreak. an hour
two hence. and then lie down, wondering
who wouldn't be special.
There many of such glimpses of army life
scattered through the mo~e serious reporting of
great movements and momentOus battles of
which the book consists and they afford inter-
esting reading. The Importance of Mr.. Pages
service is seen from the fact that his letters
cover the battles of Gainess Mill, White Oak
Swamp. the second Bull Run, the Wilderness
Spottsylvania. Cold Harbor and the movements
about the James, Petersburg and the occupation
of Richmond. He also accompanied the funeral
cortege of Lincoln to his home in Springfield,
