Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from War Government, Federal and State: In Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, 1861-1865 The Civil War will afford ample ground for historical research and study for generations to come. Massachusetts is far ahead of other States in the preservation and arrangement of all records, especially those in manuscript. Her "shoestring files" contain the original story of the stalwart doings in those days, comprising several hundred volumes of manuscript, well arranged and kept under lock and key. Careful search was made here; and I was indebted to Governor Crane, Mr. Hamlin, and the other officials, for constant courtesy. The archives at Albany and at Harrisburg were examined. The excellent biography by Foulke sufficiently lighted up and colored the extensive correspondence of Morton as it was set forth in the "Official Records of the Rebellion." This enormous collection of printed matter is a mine of crude ore, and from it will be drawn the maturing history of our pregnant Civil War. James Ford Rhodes´s account is exhaustive, absolutely impartial, and very graphic. I have used freely his widespread authorities. I differ in construing the facts at some important points, as will appear in the following pages. Very likely the difference was in that I could not rise to the heights of his sedate charitableness.
