Review: New-York Times, 23 August 1866, 5.

     “Mr. Brougham’s development of the nicer elements of the character of O’Donnell, his perfect conception and interpretation of the more delicate shades of the soldier’s inner life, are winning fresh laurels for the brow of one of our most deserving favorites.”
