About this book

General Butler's Campaign On the Hudson is a polemical pamphlet by Henry Norman Hudson (1814-1886), the American Episcopal clergyman and editor best known for the Hudson Shakespeare, the widely used Victorian American school edition of Shakespeare's plays. Hudson served as a chaplain in the Union Army during the American Civil War and was attached to the Army of the James under General Benjamin Butler. The pamphlet is Hudson's account of Butler's command and behaviour during the Hudson Valley operations of the war, and is highly critical of Butler personally. The piece belongs to the wider Civil War literature of officer disputes and post-war reputation defence. Hudson returned to literary and educational work after the war and edited the Harvard edition of Shakespeare in the 1880s.
