Book excerpt: This volume consists largely of accounts of the organization of the various units of the Union Army, arranged by departments, armies, army corps, and other minor organizations of fighting men, followed by a long section narrating the battles and campaigns fought against the confederacy during the Civil War. Volume 1 covered the eastern theater; this one covers battles in the western theater, which included Tennessee, Mississippi, western Virginia, and other states Reviewers of the first volume criticized the lack of an index, pointing out that it was difficult to follow the career of any individual officer, particularly a senior one, unless he happened to remain with the same unit throughout, which was not common.
