. Sword and pen : or, Ventures and adventures of Willard Glazier in war and literature . ty, the weary marches to the battle-field, the bivouac atnight, the fierce hand-to-hand strife, the hospital, the dying volun-xeer, the dead one—buried in his blanket by the pale light of themoon, far, far away from those he loves—the defeat and victory—every scene, in iact, familiar to the eye and ear of the boy in blue,is here most truthfully and clearly photographed, and the soldier isonce more transported back to the days of the rebellion. CaptainGlaziers style is easy and explicit. He makes no endeavor to bepoetic or eloquent, but tells his story in a straightforward manner,occasionally, however, approaching eloquence in spite of cheerfully and earnestly commend Three Years in the FederalCavalry to the public as a most readable, entertaining andinstructive vohime. Among the manifold testimonials we have seen tothe merits ofthis work, the following from the poeticpen of Mrs. Maud Louise Brainerd, of Elmira, NewYork, is at once beautiful and eloquent of praise, and. 320 SWORD AND PEN. must not therefore be omitted from the chaplet we areNyeaving for the brow of the * soldier-author: *Have you heard of our Union Cavalry, As Glazier tells the story ?Of the dashing boys of the * Cavalry Corp^*And their daring deeds of glory ? This modest volume holds it all,Their brave exploits revealing,Told as a comrade tells the all a comrades feeling. The Union camp-fires blaze anew,Upon these faithful pages,Anew we tremble while we readHow hot the warfare rages. We hear again the shock of cannons direful thunder,And feel once more the wild suspenseThat then our hearts throbbed under. ** The deeds of heroes live againAmid the battle , Phoenix-like, the dead take formAnd rise from out their ashes. * Where darkest hangs the cloud and smoke^ Where weaker men might falter, The brave Phil Kearney lays his life Upon his countrys altar. *Kilpatricks leg
