Household Story of the American Conflict: The Brother Soldiers (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Household Story of the American Conflict: The Brother Soldiers

Some account of the American war, adapted to the children gathered in our churches, and largely dependent on our Sunday-school libraries for mental recreation, has been thought to be a desideratum by those interested in their needs. Such an account, conveyed in a familiar, unpretending manner, has been attempted in this volume, the first of a short series. It is meant to extend through the war, giving prominence, not merely to its important events, but to the generous and soldierly virtues that characterized the times. To this end, and not alone for childish entertainment, many credible incidents have been admitted that illustrate our confiict, if they do not directly make a part of it.
