MARKERS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY,

A movement was started in 1910 to erect markers in the County of Jefferson, Virginia, now West Virginia, at points where battles or skirmishes took place. The means were supplied by the Jefferson County Camp of Confederate Veterans, No. 123, and by the people of the county. Twenty-five markers were erected under direction of the camp, Col. R. Preston Chew, Commander.

THE LONG ARM OF LEE.

"THE LONG ARM OF LEE; OR, THE HISTORY OF THE ARTILLERY OF THE ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA." By Jennings Cropper Wise. J. P. Bell Co., Inc.

The Civil War, the War between the States, the American War, or, as the English have sometimes called it, "The War between North and South America," has not been exhausted, either as a source of inspiration of literature, reminiscence, romance, poetry, or as a subject of military study. History and biography have claimed that period as a field of research and study, and have given many valuable volumes to the library shelves.

The book which is now before us is a full and thorough history and study of one arm of the Confederate service in the noble Army of Northern Virginia. The author is not a veteran participant in the service and campaigns of which he writes, but one of the following generation, no doubt a forerunner of those who in the years to come will review the campaigns and study the literature of their fathers. He has had a most capable and valuable contact with the field artillery of the later days, and has been an enthusiastic student of the science of war, especially of ordnance and artillery. And he had a subject con amore when he set himself to study and write the wonderful annals of the Confederate artillery under Lee. Many times it has been said that the artillery was the most distinguished branch of the Confederate service. It certainly developed a line of illustrious officers, skillful, brilliant in initiative, persistent and indomitable in overcoming difficulties, and heroic on the field. General Lee wrote, "No class of officers in the army have learned faster or served better than the artillery." The names are many that grow in fame as the years go by-Pendleton, Alexander, Crutch
