Augusta County: "Review of "Chancellorsville"," by Unknown, January 1876

Summary: A favorable review of a book, "Chancellorsville," by Jed. Hotchkiss and William Allan.

From Colonel Wm. Allan, formerly chief of ordinance Second Corps Army Northern Virginia, we have received "CHANCELLORSVILLE," by Major Jed. Hotchkiss and Colonel Wm. Allan. This is a very able and valuable contribution to the history of the Virginia battle fields. The narrative is clear, accurate and vigorous, and the maps are in every respect admirable. The book is gotten up in the best style of D. Van Nostrand, New York, and should have a place in the library of every military student.
