This magazine was apparently published between 1879 and 1905, Thomas Holdup Stevens Hamersly was the son of Lewis Hamersly, who was the initial editor of this professional journal. The magazine may have had variations in its title and its publisher. Among the contents listed are: Navy Department Reorganization; Battle of Stone River by Major-General R. W. Johnson; Sherman's Campaign of 1864 by Brigadier-General O. O. Howard; Recollections of a Western Volunteer by S. J. Bumstead; West Point by N. J. T. Dana; The National Guard by Horatio C. King; Cadet Life at West Point during the War by Captain Charles King; The Military Power of Columbia by Lieutenant H. R. Lemly; Indian Wars of Texas by James DeShields; The Value of Puget Sound as a Naval Station by William Prosser; A Woman's Tribute to General McClellan by Elizabeth B. Custer; Anthony Wayne by J. Watts de Peyster; and an Editorial Note on The Grant Monument in New York and General Grant's Memoirs. This volume contains the rare appreciation by the author of General George McClellan. Her husband, George Armstrong Custer, first rose to fame as a cavalry leader while serving under General McClellan in the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War. Elizabeth Bacon Custer (née Bacon; April 8, 1842 - April 4, 1933) was an American author and public speaker who was the wife of Brevet Major General George Armstrong Custer, United States Army. She spent most of their twelve-year marriage in relative proximity to him despite his numerous military campaigns in the American Civil War and subsequent postings on the Great Plains as a commanding officer in the United States Cavalry.

She was buried next to her husband at West Point. A few years before her death she told a writer that her greatest disappointment was that she never had a son to bear her husband's honored name. George Brinton McClellan (December 3, 1826 - October 29, 1885) was an American military officer and politician who served as the 24th governor of New Jersey and as Commanding General of the United States Army from November 1861 to March 1862. He was also an engineer, and was chief engineer and vice president of the Illinois Central Railroad, and later president of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad in 1860. A West Point graduate, McClellan served with distinction during the Mexican-American War before leaving the United States Army to serve as a railway executive and engineer until the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861. Early in the conflict, McClellan was appointed to the rank of major general and played an important role in raising the Army of the Potomac, which served in the Eastern Theater. McClellan organized and led the Union Army in the Peninsula campaign in southeastern Virginia from March through July 1862. Custer got his first taste of war mere weeks after his graduation, at the First Battle of Bull Run in July 1861, where he gained the attention of General George McClellan.
