Dealing with the Civil War, in which General Howard took such a prominent part, this story begins with life at West Point before the war, following up with recruiting for the regiments and the advance to the front. The fighting at Bull Run, the campaigns on the Peninsula, Antietam, Gettysburg, and in the East, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, the Atlanta campaign, and the march to the sea, by the Western army, are all graphically described. Henry as a private, gradually rising rank by rank until he becomes a colonel and brevet brigadier-general, is, of course, the leading character, and a good example of the American volunteer soldier.
