2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Civil War at First HandBy Ross N. TuckerHard to believe Recollections was written years after the Civil War ended in 1865--and "ghosted" by Ida Tarbell; mostly known for her monopoly-busting writings. Dana was one of very few "on-the-scene" scribes who gained favor with Northern generals; mainly U>S> Grant. Another rather interesting point is that Dana was appointed Assistant Secretary of War by Edwin Stanton which gave him entry into just about anywhere war-like conditions existed. He covered both Grant's Vicksburg campaign and his Overland campaign which led to ending the war after some 4plus years. Jefferson Davis' imprisonment was another interesting side note. All-in-all and excellent read; highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good read and necessary for anyone's library on the warBy jwizUnique perspective on the Union command system in the last year of the civil war. Dana; being somewhat unbiased; was able to offer opinions that provided a more broad interpretation of decisions made by Grant and his commanders. Good read and necessary for anyone's library on the war.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. In depth history.By Dart66Charles Dana is normally just a side bar in most history of General Grant. It is interesting to see what part he played in the war.
