The Thirty Years War

Excerpt from The Thirty Years War The tangled story of this long, terrible, and eventful war I have endeavored so to draw out as will make it easily understood by even youthful readers. My authorities, in addition to general histories and encyclopædias, are, Schiller's and Gardiner's histories of the Thirty Years' War, and Abelous' Gustavus Adolphus, translated by Mrs. C. A.
