"Focusing most of his attention on northern military affairs, Phisterer looked at the organization of the Federal armies and listed the army corps, military departments, divisions, and general officers. ... He also examined the strengths of Union armies at different times during the war and measured the response of each northern state to Lincoln's quotas for volunteers. Finally, he provided a comprehensive, chronological list of battles and estimated casualties on both sides."--Intro., p. i-ii.
