Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures on the American Civil War: Delivered Before the University of Oxford in Easter and Trinity Terms 1912 I read these Lectures in the Schools before the University of Oxford during May 1912. They are printed as read with no very important exceptions. A few paragraphs and sentences as originally written were omitted in the reading to keep within the conventional fifty-five minutes; these are here restored. The account of Pickett´s Charge in Lecture III has been expanded for the sake of greater clearness; likewise my story of Grant´s Vicksburg campaign which, as read in Oxford, was excessively compressed. The work of literary revision of the Lectures has been entrusted to my son, Daniel P. Rhodes, to whom, amongst other changes, I owe the rewriting of the Pickett Charge and the Vicksburg campaign. Footnote references, in which only volume and page numbers are given, are to my History of the United States from the Compromise of 1850 to the Final Restoration of Home Rule at the South in 1877.
