countries of the Old World, to send its cotton abroad and to bring back the supplies of which it stood so much in need; had it been able to blockade Portland, Boston, Newport, New York, the mouth of the Delaware, and the entrance of Chesapeake Bay; had it possessed the sea power to prevent the United States from despatching by water into Virginia its armies and their supplies, it is not too much to say that such a reversal of conditions would have reversed the outcome of the Civil War. Hilary A. Herbert, Colonel 8th Alabama Volunteers, C. S.A., ex-Secretary of the Navy, in an address, The sea and sea power as a factor in the history of the United States, delivered at the Naval War College, August 10, 1896. Now that half a century has passed since the Civil War, we have come to a point where we can deal calmly with the philosophy of the great contest without too great disturbance of the feeling which came near to wrecking our nationality. The actualities of the struggle will be de
. In his oration on General Lee, delivered October 30, 1901, Captain Adams vigorously maintains that the Union was saved not so much by the victories of its armies as by the material exhaustion of the Confederacy; a view ably elaborated by Hilary A. Herbert, former colonel of the Confederate States Army, in an address delivered while Secretary of the Navy, at the War College in 1896. A quotation from it appears on page 88, of Volume I, of the photographic history. In the picture above, the oasury. Again he says: It must be admitted that the Union was not saved by the victories of its armies, but by the exhaustion of its enemies. Charles Francis Adams, in his oration on General Lee, vigorously maintains the same view, and Colonel Hilary A. Herbert, while Secretary of the Navy, delivered an elaborate address in 1896, in which he demonstrated the correctness of that interpretation of the true cause of the failure of the South. In concluding, I may recall the well-known fact that
has aimed to render the test throughout the largest part of the Photographic History as detached and impersonal as possible. The value, for instance, of the chapter on Grant, by Colonel W. C. Church, lies not only in the trained military criticism of technical operations by the veteran editor of the Army and Navy Journal, but also in the author's personal acquaintance with the Union War-time photographs of Confederate soldiers contributors to the photographic history Col.

Chapter 5: losses in the battles of the Civil War, and what they mean Hilary A. Herbert Late Colonel, Eighth Alabama Infantry, Confederate States Army, and late Secretary of the Navy of the United States Men of the famous Vermont brigade, all from the one state, which suffered more heavily than any other Federal brigade during the war—within a week at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania, it lost 1,645 out of 2,100 effective men The regiment that sustained the greatest loss of any iative casualties suffered by a military organization in a war, or in any particular engagement, it must be borne in mind that the entire subject is one around which many questions center. The general consideration has been discussed by Colonel Hilary A. Herbert in the preceding chapter. It now remains to give the readers of the Photographic History some few exact statistics of the losses suffered in both great armies. In the official records there are summarized with considerable completen

The life of Major Humphreys, both military and civil, was exemplary throughout and is well worth the emulation of youth. Colonel Isaac F. Hunt Colonel Isaac F. Hunt, of Greenville, the last commander of the Thirteenth South Carolina volunteers, was born in Newberry county, November 16, 1833. His parents were Jacob, H. Hunt and his wife, Hannah Herbert, a cousin of Hilary A. Herbert, former secretary of the navy of the United States. His paternal grandfather was a soldier of the Revolution.

Disregarding his qualifications for rank he enlisted when the State first needed soldiers as a private in Company B, First South Carolina regiment, with which he was on duty during the siege of Fort S
