NOTES:
In 1894 when "Brother against Brother" was released, some series' ads
noted the two series were divided into the "Navy Series" and the "Army
Series". The "Brother against Brother" 1894 title page stated "The Blue
and the Gray Army Series". 1894 "Afloat" books only noted "The Blue and
Gray Series". By 1895 and later, all of the the "On Land" title pages
state "On Land". Examples below.
The "On Land Series" books have "On Land" between the medals on the
cover. The Afloat Series did not have the word "Afloat" between the
medals until 1897.
Cloth. Blue and gray split covers with gilt medals representing
each side. Gilt spine lettering. Sold separately or in boxes. 7.5"
x 5.25". Illustrations by A. Burnham Shute.
