A Glimpse of War is a historical account of the capture of the Confederate flag by Union soldiers during the American Civil War. The book focuses on the events that took place on July 29, 1864, near Petersburg, Virginia. The author, Albert Matson, was a Union soldier who witnessed the capture of the flag and wrote about it in his journal. He later expanded on his journal entries to create this book. The book provides a detailed description of the events leading up to the capture of the flag, including the movements of the Union and Confederate armies. Matson describes the battle itself in vivid detail, including the bravery of the Union soldiers who charged the Confederate lines to capture the flag. He also provides insight into the emotions felt by both sides during the battle. In addition to the account of the battle, the book includes illustrations and maps to help readers visualize the events. It also includes a brief history of the Civil War up to that point, as well as information about the armies and commanders involved in the battle. Overall, A Glimpse of War is a valuable historical document that provides a firsthand account of a significant event in the Civil War. It offers readers a glimpse into the experiences of soldiers on both sides of the conflict and sheds light on the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought in the war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
