by Juan Prim Originally published in 1895
Many of the armies of Europe sent observers, like Arthur Fremantle from England and the Count of Paris and his aristocratic friends from France, along with representatives of the Czar and other crowned heads of state, to view and record the revolutionary events of the Civil War and, on occasion, to take an enthusiastic part.
A Spanish general, Prim spent time with the Army in its camps on the James River. His observations on its condition and its practices and his comments on its abilities, though quaint in retrospect, provide a unique view of the Union Army. His measure of the power of the North, along with his notion of the aftermath of the war, would prove prophetic.
