- Lowe's accounts, which vividly portray the life of a recruit and a civilian during a stirring period of national development, have often been quoted by historians writing of the mid-nineteenth century. Long time out of print and almost unknown, the book has been issued in this new edition so that it may be read, not merely referred to.
