Is the Eclectic history of the United States, written by Miss Thalheimer, and published by Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., Cincinnatti, a fit book to be used in our schools? A Review by J. Wm. Jones. Paper no. 2. We were noticing in our last the tone and general spirit of this book, and will now add several examples to those then given: II. Designating the Northern States (page 308) as the loyal States—stating (page 309) that more than two-thirds of the States ratified the amendment of the Constitution abolishing slavery, and on page 324 that all of the States adopted the Fourteenth Amendment, annulled their ordinances of secession, and repudiated the Confederate war-debts without giving the slightest intimation that the Southern States acted in this matter as much under duress as the traveller who yields to the highwayman's demand, your money or your life, the statement (page 313) that Mr. Lincoln, in his second inaugural address, fairly stated the positions of the two parties

ly 23,000 reinforcements—that McClellan was also reinforced—that General Lee numbered, when Seven Days opened, a little less than 80, 000 men (78,000), and McClellan, 105,000 in position, and 10,000 at Fortress Monroe, and he did as much to strengthen his defences as did Lee—and that instead of simply severing McClellan from his supplies, Lee attacked him in works as strong as engineering skill and ample mechanical appliances could make them, and that at Mechanicsville, Beaver Dam Creek, Gaines's Mill, Cold Harbor, Savage Station, Frazier's Farm, and Malvern Hill, (names our children ought to learn, but would never hear of from this book) Lee gained splendid victories and forced McClellen to cower under the shelter of his gunboats at Harrison's Landing. These brilliant exploits resulted in the capture of many thousand prisoners, thousands of small arms,; and fifty-one pieces of artillery, and in the raising of the siege of Richmond and the speedy transfer of the seat of the war nor<

Front Royal (Virginia, United States) (search for this): chapter 90
It is amazing how any fair-minded man can consider the dwarfing of Jackson's Valley campaign into abrilliant dash (p. 291) up the Shenandoah Valley, and the addition of some glittering generalities in the note (p. 303), which the teacher may or may not require the pupil to study, a fair statement of one of the most brilliant campaigns in all history. McDowell, from whence Jackson electrified the Confederacy with his famous dispatch: God blessed our arms with victory at McDowell yesterday—Front Royal, where the two Maryland regiments (Federal and Confederate) had their bloody fight and Jackson flanked Banks—Winchester, where the Federals were driven pell-mell through the streets and Banks won the soubriquet of Stonewall Jackson's Quartermaster —the fighting near Harrisonburg, where Ashby captured Sir Percy Wyndham, and soon after, in a fight with the Bucktails, yielded up his own chivalric spirit in the hour of victory-Cross-Keys, where Ewell whipped Fremont—and Port Republic, where

As for General Lee's raising immense numbers of recruits between Seven Pines and Seven Days, the exact truth is that he received from all sources, including Jackson, (see papers of General Early and Colonel Charles Marshall, Southern Historical so-Ciety papers, volume I, pages 408-424) only 23,000 reinforcements—that McClellan was also reinforced—that General Lee numbered, when Seven Days opened, a little less than 80, 000 men (78,000), and McClellan, 105,000 in position, and 10,000 at Fortress Monroe, and he did as much to strengthen his defences as did Lee—and that instead of simply severing McClellan from his supplies, Lee attacked him in works as strong as engineering skill and ample mechanical appliances could make them, and that at Mechanicsville, Beaver Dam Creek, Gaines's Mill, Cold Harbor, Savage Station, Frazier's Farm, and Malvern Hill, (names our children ought to learn, but would never hear of from this book) Lee gained splendid victories and forced McClellen to cower un<
