Description
Excerpt from Recollections of War Times: Reminiscences of Men and Events in Washington, 1860-1865
The iron skeleton of the war lies imbedded in the twelfth and thirteenth volumes of the United State: Statutes at Large.
The time has not yet come for more than a memoir of this great Congress, which should be attempted at least by some one of its members who may impart to his work something of the local color and spirit of that body.
The writer is one of the few survivors of the House, where he was not so conspicuous as to make enemies, nor yet so obscure as to be unable to make himself heard, it not felt, upon some of the greatest problems that have ever received legislative solution among men.
