This was a publication produced in 1895 dedicated: "To the brave soldiers who fought the battles herein pictured..." and further noting that: "This work will be a supplement to every written history, portraying as it does the striking incidents of battle, and giviing the likenesses of the leaders whose names were on every lip in the days of strife. Here the veterans will find the past recalled & here the young may gain inspiration to emulate their patriotism and devotion.".
Each full page print measures about 11 by 16 inches and is printed upon newsprint which is of higher quality than the pulpish paper used by the daily newspapers of that era. Still quite white and not the least bit fragile.
