J. W. Cheney, Librarian, War Department, Washington, says: "Your
magnificent album of Civil War photographs is to me both a surprise and
a delight. I am pleased to know that this superb volume has been added
to the available literature of the War for the Union. I congratulate you
on the successful accomplishment of a work that cannot be overestimated
by appreciative students of American History."
Edward S. Holden, Librarian West Point Military Academy, says: "Your
publication 'Original Photographs taken on the battlefields during the
Civil War of the U. S.,' is an original document of the first
importance. I beg to congratulate you on this publication which will
have a very large usefulness, and to hope that you will print other
volumes of the sort."
Admiral George Dewey says: "I believe it will commend itself not only to
all Veterans of the Country, but also to all students of the history of
our Civil War."
Bishop Samuel R. Fallows says: "The superb work of 'Original Photographs
taken on the battlefields during the Civil War' should be in the
possession of every Grand Army Post and of every Grand Army Comrade who
can afford to take it. If I possessed the means, every Comrade who could
not spare the money to purchase it, should have a copy."
Corporal Tanner says: "The volume instantly commanded my most undivided
attention. Why, it is like rolling back the scroll forty-five years. In
every respect, as to faithfulness and fineness of execution, I heartily
endorse the publication."
