A GENERATION has passed away since the last battle of the Civil War was fought, and since the victorious armies of the Union passed in review, on the 22d and 23d of May, 1865, before the President of the United States in the City of Washington. Upward of one million of men were on the rolls of the army when the work of mustering out officers and men began on the ist of June, 1865, and by the middle of November upward of 800,000 of this vast host had returned to the pursuits of peace. Altogether the whole number of men who had answered to their country s call during the war was 2,656,000. Out of this number 300,000 had sealed their patriotism with their blood. As long as this nation lasts the memory of these defenders of the Union will be one of its holiest treasures. "Your marches, said General Grant in his farewell address, "your sieges and battles, in distance, duration, resolution and orilliancy of results, dim the lustre of the world s past military achievements, and will be the patriot s precedents in defense of liberty and right in all time to come. 1 Many of those to whom these words were addressed have already passed away, but the new generation still remembers with pride some relative to whose stories of battle and of march it has often listened. B -t as these veterans become fewer the tales of their deeds become less vivid ; and it is to impress on trie rieW age ana to fix on posterity the memory of these heroes that this work is designed. Nothing recalls the past so forcibly as pictures of the scenes taken at the time and on the very spot. A picture, too, is impartial. It cannot represent the success of the victors without representing the heroism of their opponents. It does justice to all sides, like Decoration Day, whicji North and South alike keep holy, and strengthens the bonds of sympathy between all true citizens. This work will bt, a supplement to every written history, portraying as it does the striking incidents of battle, and giving the likenesses of the leaders whose names were on every lip in the days of strife. Here the veterans will find the past recalled, and here the young may gain inspiration to emulate their patriotism and devotion.

A S the years roll by, and the reverberating- echoes of the great Civil War that shook our country from one end to the other slowly die away in the distance, the pictures of the stirring scenes of 61 to 65, drawn in the very midst of the strife, become not only interesting and attractive to the eye, but highly important and valuable as real, authentic representa tions of the way in which the events actually took place that no word description could possibly give. To preserve in convenient and permanent form these valuable illustrations and to present to the public a grand pano rama ol the leading events of the war is the purpose of this book. The brave soldiers who, clad in the "Blue" or the " Gray," participated in the fierce struggles that marked the four years of war, will find here familiar scenes, and will be taken back, through the medium of excellent pictures, to the days they will never forget ; those who remained at home will be reminded, in looking over these pages, of the exciting eagerness with which the appearance of each number of Frank Leslie s publications, with their famous war pictures, was awaited, and how every piece of news and illustration from the seat of battle was anxiously scanned ; while those who were not born or were too young to remember now those stirring times will find much interest and instruction in studying the views of battles that became famous and have taken a prominent place in the nation s history. The pictures in this work have been reproduced from the original cuts made by Frank Leslie s corps of war artists. They were taken from his publications because of their assured authenticity. They were drawn and engraved directly from sketches made on the scene of battle by the most famous artists of the time, and can therefore be relied upon as absolutely accurate. They are really the most authentic war illustrations that have ever been published. The short, concise history of the war which appears at the end of this volume is intended to give the reader, in as few words as possible, a complete and accurate account of the great conflict from beginning to end ; describing, in entertaining language, the circumstances that led to the struggle, the important battles both on land and sea. the men who participated in them, and the causes that brought about the downfall of the Confederacy. This description, with the graphic illustrations, will, it is hoped, bring about a better knowledge and a more correct idea of the Civil War than any yet presented to the public. Neither trouble nor expense has been spared to make FRANK LESLIE S ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR per fectly reliable in every way. Editors of experience have gone over the whole work carefully and verified every date, so as to prevent the possibility of error. INDEX TO ILLUSTRATIONS. A.

BIOGRAPHY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth President of the Fnited States, born in Hard in County, Ky., February 12th, 1809: died in Washington, D. C., April loth, 18C5. His father, Thomas Lincoln, remained in Kentucky until 1810, when he resolved to remove to the still newer country of Indiana, and settled in u rich and fertile forest country near Little Pigeon Creek, not far distant from the Ohio River. The family suffered from diseases incident to pioneer life and Mrs. Lincoln died in 1818 at the age of thirty-five. Thomas Lincoln, while on a visit to Kentucky, married a worthy, industrious and intelligent widow named Sarah Hush .Johnston. She was a woman of admirable order and system in her habits, and brought to the home of the pioneer in the Indiana timber many of the comforts of civilized life. The neighborhood was one of the roughest. The President once said of it : " It was a wild region, with many bears find other wild animals still in trie woods, and there were some schools, so called ; but no qualification was ever required of a teacher beyond readin , writiu and cipherin to the rule of three. There was absolutely nothing to excite ambition for education. But in spite of this the boy Abraham made the best use of the limited opportunities afforded him, and learned all that the half-educated backwoods teacher could impart ; and besides this he read over and over ail the books lie could find. By the time he was nineteen years of age he had acquired a remarkab u, clear and serviceable handwriting, and showed sufficient business capacity to bo intrusted with a cargo of farm products, which he took to New Orleans and sold. In 1830 his father emigrated once more to Macon County, 111. Lincoln had by this time attained his extraordinary stature of six feet four inches, and with it enormous muscular strength, which was at once put ut the disposal of his father in building his cabin, clearing the field and splitting from the walnut forests, which were plentiful in that country, the rails with which the farm was fenced. Thomas Lincoln, however, soon deserted this new home, his last emigration being to (loose Nest Prairie, in Coles County, where he died in 1861, seventy-three years of age. In his last days he was tenderly cared for by his son. Abraham Lincoln left his father s house as soon as the farm was fenced and cleared, hired himself to a man named Denton Offiitt, in Sangamon County, assisted him to build a flatboat, accompanied him to .New Orleans on a trading voyage, and returned with him to New Salem, where Offtitt opened a store for the sale of general merchandise. Little was accomplished in this way. find Lincoln employed his too-abundant leisure in constant reading and study, lie learned during this time the elements of F/nglish grammar, and made a beginning in the studv of surveying and the principles of law. But the next year an Indian war began, occasioned by the return of Black Hawk with his band of Sacs and Foxes from Iowa to Illinois. Lincoln volunteered in a company raised in Sangamon County, and was immediately elected captain. His company was organized at Kichland, April 21st, 1832; but his service in command of it was brief, for it was mustered out on May ~Tth. Lincoln immediately re-enlisted as a private, and served for several weeks in that capacity, being finally mustered out on June ](3th, 1832. by Lieutenant Robert Anderson, who afterward commanded Fort Sumter at the beginning of the Civil War. lie was appointed postmaster of New Salem in 1833 an office which he held for three years. The emoluments of the place were very slight, but it gave him opportunities for reading. At the same time he was appointed deputy to John Calhoun, the county surveyor : and his modest wants being supplied by these two functions, he gave his remaining leisure unreservedly to the study of law and politics. He was a candidate for the legislature in August, 1834, and was elected this time at the head of the list. He was re-elected in 1830, 1838 and 1840, after which he declined further election. After entering the legislature he did not return to New Salem ; but having by this time attained some proficiency in the law, he removed to Springfield, where he went into partnership with John T. Stuart, whose acquaintance he had begun in the Black Hawk war and continued at Vandalia. He took rank from the first among the leading members of the legislature. In 1840 he was elected to Congress, his opponent being the Rev. Peter Cartwright. After his return from Congress he devoted himself with great assiduity and success to the practice of law, and speedily gained a commanding position at the bar. In 1800 he was nominated for the Presidency on the third ballot by the Chicago Convention over William II. Seward, who waa his principal competitor. The Democratic Convention, which met in Charleston, S. C.. broke up after numerous fruitless ballotingg, and divided into two sections. The Southern half, unable to trust Mr. Douglas with the interests of slavery after his Freeport speech, first adjourned to Richmond, but again joined the other half at Baltimore, whore a second disruption took place, after which the Southern half nomi nated John C. Breckiundge, of Kentucky, and the Northern portion nominated Mr. Douglas. John Bell, of Tennessee, was nominated by the so-called Constitutional Union party. Lincoln, therefore, supported by the entire anti-slavery sentiment of the North, gained an easy victory over the three other parties. He was inaugurated President of the United States, Marcli 4th, 1801. His election by a sectional vote and on a sectional issue hostile to the South was followed by the secession of eleven Southern States and a war for the restoration of the Union. On January 1st, 1863, the President proclaimed the freedom of all slaves in the Confederate States, arid was re-elected to the Presidency in 1861. The war was brought to a close, April 2d, 1805, and on the 15th of the game mouth, while attending a performance of " Our American Cousin " at Ford s Theatre, Washington, he fell by the hand of an assassin. v>. c \ v /vr "-v***- "Vv " -/ ^k ^S^d sWiv "vjWSP S _^^ / , / ,flOl .

Before long he became lieutenant colonel and was sent to the Niagara frontier. For his gallant services there he was promoted to the rank of major general, the nighest then known in the American Army. His exploits in Mexico, in our war vith that country, are too familiar to need repetition, llis conduct of that war elicited from the veteran Wellington the declaration that that campaign was unsurpassed in military annals.

Colonel Ellsworth was passing the Marshall House in Alexandria, Va., when he saw a Confederate flag waving above it. On the spur of the mo raent he entered the hotel, and ascending to the roof with two or three friends, cut the halyards and took possession of the flag.
