Our Fighting Force and War Costs Across Nations

A long, patriotic recount of Civil War mobilization and losses, comparing Union and Confederate service, and contrasting with Napoleonic and Waterloo battles. It notes 4 million U.S. soldiers under arms from a 23 to 41 million population, Gettysburg as a defining modern battle, and vast wartime expenditures, with emphasis on courage and endurance of American forces.
