Excerpt from Household Story of the American Conflict: Forward With the Flag The kindly reception accorded to "The Brother Soldiers" has encouraged the author to the preparation of other volumes for the series. As the conflict deepens and widens, its individual features assume greater prominence, and are in some instances invested with a rare interest. "Forward with the Flag" continues the narrative already begun, and brings it down to the winter of 1863. A recent notice of "The Brother Soldiers," suggests that the author should make the narrative her own, and give but little share to descriptive articles written by other pens. It may not be amiss to state that the quotations, except in the case of certain poems, are merely apparent, and are used simply to aid in carrying out the plan of the story.
