The Story of the Confederacy

From piece pasted on end paper (I believe it to be part of the original dust jacket): "...So incisive and vigorous is this record of heroism, gallantry, strife, and consusion, of colossal blunders and terrible tragedies, that one loses sight of the fact that he is reading history, and finds himself reliving battles, deciding policies, and what, and watching events with the great leaders of the period, as though he, too, were a part of those stirring times."

The author, "...has written one of the first complete records of the South, and has given due credit to the brave men and great leaders of the North."

Some black and white photo inserts.
