I went to the book in order to compare the fighting in it with the fighting in the innumerable stories of the Spanish war; but I remained to wonder of the monumental work which you have performed. To a mind like mine ( I hardly dare call it a mind ) in the presence of such profoundness as yours, it is inconceivable that you should have mastered all that detail and the grasp with which you hold it and present it is so clearly, so profoundly, simply ?? one. You can justly find that you've written the history of our battles in the great war in such a way that it could not be written again. We are going to Kittery Point for the summer and I hope to see you. W.D. Howells" . John Codman Ropes (1836-1899) was an American military historian, author, and lawyer.
