Tenney's important military and naval history of the American Civil War presents in one volume not only the principal battles by land and sea, but every important skirmish. The plans and objects of the various battles are clearly stated, and the progress of the armies, step by step, in their execution, is described and illustrated with distinct topographical maps, chiefly obtained from official sources. The manner of raising, organizing, and equipping the armies and fleets is stated in detail; also the sanitary measures for their preservation, including hospitals and charitable organizations; the improvements in weapons and forts and floating batteries of military and naval warfare; the treatment of prisoners, and the action relative to those military questions arising between combatants.
