Annals of the War

Originally published in the Philadelphia Weekly Times. In presenting to the public The Annals of the War, the publishers do not assume to offer only that which is thoroughly reliable as chapters in the history of the most thrilling and bloody drama of the century, but it is assumed that in no way can the truth of history be so nearly ascertained as by the statements of the leading actors themselves. A partial list of the writers of these articles includes: Captain John D. Young, Captain John Scott, Edward Spencer, General James Longstreet, Hon. A.R. Boteler, Colonel F. C. Newhall, Major A.B. McClellan, General John McCausland, Judge Robert Ould, General W.W.H. Davis, Colonel Henry S. Olcott, General Beauregard, and John a. Wright.
