REFERENCES: DORN III #2082; MULLINS / REED #11 on Publisher's 13-volume Campaigns of the Civil War, " Sometimes included in the set is another volume entitled Gettysburg to the Rapidan: The Army of the Potomac July 1863 to April 1864 by Andrew A. Humphreys". ; EISNER 106: "Because of the length of Humphrey's book on the Virginia campaign of 1864 and 1865, the publisher issued the opening chapters as a brief and distinct work. This slim volume is not as clearly composed as the larger work, does not provide many important anecdotes of the Federal Army during the period in question, and supplies insufficient detail for the period in question.".
