Title: Fascinating
Review: This journal is a fascinating glimpse of early Civil War life--April to July 1861. More about the war and daily life than about his important work as the Register of the Treasury, Chittenden writes clearly and effectively. The daily observations contain such nuggets as a detailed description of a comet sighted July 2, 1861. If you're interested in some human background to go with the standard Civil War campaign histories, check this out.The book itself is very nicely done, encased in a slipcover. This 1969 edition states it was a limited printing of 1500 copies.
