Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Who´s the Patriot? A Story of the Southern Confederacy In the following pages, I have endeavored, with the valuable aid of journals and old letters, to illustrate, for the benefit of those interested, the home or social side of the eventful period which intervened between 1860 and 1865. Hawthorne says, as if in extenuation of the fact that he went abroad to seek in ideal Italy material for his crowning work of genius, that "no one, without a trial, can conceive of the difficulty of writing a romance about a country where there is no shadow or mystery, no gloomy wrong or picturesque ruin," to inspire the ambitious pen of poet or novelist. But since that sentiment was expressed wonderful changes have been wrought, and throughout a large portion of his native land may now be found many a ruin waiting to do its part in furnishing the inspiration. From amid the wreck, I build, with reverent hands, this humble monument in memory of those who never woke to the knowledge of their "lost cause," and borrow from Father Ryan´s beautiful "Sentinel Songs" the lines of my inscription. "All lost! but by the graves Where martyred heroes rest, He wins the most, who honor saves - Success is not the test."
