add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "New Jersey and the Rebellion: A History of the Services of the Troops and People of New Jersey in Aid of the Union Cause," by John Y. Foster. This is a book of great bulk and moderate merit. It begins with a statement of the causes of the rebellion and of the relation of slavery to the war, then describes the condition of New Jersey as to military matters when the war broke out. Books of the class to which this volume belongs are sure of a certain local popularity, from their fullness of detail, and they may be so written and compiled as to be prized outside the limits of the State to which they peculiarly belong.
