Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life in Dixie During the War 1863-1864-1865 I am asked to write a few words of introduction to these reminiscences of a lady who, in the pleasant afternoon of a life devoted to deeds of mercy and charity, turns fondly and sympathetically to the past. But there is nothing to be said. What word of mine could add to the interest that inheres in this unpretentious record of a troubled and bloody period? The chronicle speaks for itself, especially to those who remember something of those wonderful days of war. It has the charm and the distinction of absolute verity, a quality for which we may look in vain in more elaborate and ambitious publications. Here, indeed, is one of the sources from which history must get its supplies, and it is informed with a simplicity which history can never hope to attain. We have here reproduced in these records, with a faithfulness that is amazing, the spirit of those dark days that are no more. Tragedy shakes hands with what seems to be trivial, and the commonplaces of every day life seem to move forward with the gray battalions that went forth to war. It is a gentle, a faithful and a tender hand that guides the pen - a soul nerved to sacrifice that tells the tale. For the rest, let the records speak for themselves.
