Book News Annotation:
Dunn Browne was the pseudonym used by Fiske, a fighting infantryman
from 1862 to 1864 who was also an experienced newspaper
correspondent. He not only described the experience of soldiers, but
between battles delved into major issues of the war for the
consideration of readers of the Springfield Republican. Sears, a
noted historian of the Civil War, annotates the dispatches.
