Illustrated."I have endeavored in 'Battles for the Union,' to present in the most concise and simple form the great contests in the war for the preservation of the Republic of the United States. Should my late comrades in arms consider my pictures faithful, I shall feel more than compensated for the effort I have made to commemorate their glorious deeds." - Preface.Captain Willard Worcester Glazier was born in 1841, at Fowler, St. Lawrence County, New York. He served through the Civil War in the New York Cavalry, and was twice taken prisoner by the Confederates. After the war he continued his adventures, once being captured by hostile Indians in the Wyoming Territory and managing to escape with his life.

In 1881 he traversed the entire length of the Mississippi in a canoe." from Allibone (1893).
