The third volume embraces, without abridgment, the fifth and sixth

and the Army of the Cumberland and Tennessee in the West.
It contains full accounts of the battle of Chancellorsville, the
attack of the monitors on Fort Sumter, the sieges and fall of
Vicksburg and Port Hudson; the battles of Port Gibson and
Champion's Hill, and the fullest and most authentic account of the
battle of Gettysburg ever written.
"The head of the Orleans family has put pen to paper with excellent
result.... Our present impression is that it will form by far the
best history of the American war."--_Athenaeum, London_.
"We advise all Americans to read it carefully, and judge for
themselves if 'the future historian of our war,' of whom we have
heard so much, be not already arrived in the Comte de
Paris."--_Nation, New York_.
"This is incomparably the best account of our great second
revolution that has yet been even attempted.
