Russell's reports to the London Times are analyzed ungenerously here, demonstrating that he lied, exaggerated [particluarly where his columns placed him near the center of danger], and generally portrayed the North unfavorably. Nevins calls him "an egotistical English reporter." I Nevins 155. There were evidently two editions. Sabin 74401 [(2), 14pp]. Nicholson 720 [14pp]. III Dornbusch 1501 [12pp]. (Inventory #: 11658)
