An assorted collection of light-reading stories covering King Philip's War, the American Civil War, the Napoleonic wars and others.  Barton wrote a similar book about the first world war and then several fictional stories about a retired spy named Bromley Barnes that appear to be little read even by fans of the genre.  (About the only non-bibliographic reference I can find called the stories "obvious".)
