The Civil War en the Border, 186142. By Wiley Britton.

(G. P. Putnam's Sons.)—Mr. Britton served in the Federal Army during the whole of the operations which he describes, operations which took place in Kansas, Arkansas, and the Indian Territory. Ho has corrected and supplemented his own imPressions and in- structions by reference to official records, as well as by calling to his aid the observations and memories of others. This is a valuable addition to the literature, already large and rich, of the American Civil War.
