Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of John Mitchel, Vol. 1 of 2 At the request of John Mitchel´s widow, and of the surviving members of his family, I consented to undertake the task of writing his life. All the materials in the possession or within the procurement of the family were placed at my disposal. John Mitchel´s private correspondence formed by much the most valuable part of these materials. I am assured that the number of the letters preserved would have been greater than it is had it not been for an unfortunate accident. The occurrence I refer to took place during the American Civil War. Mrs. Mitchel, wishing to join her husband in the Confederate States, tried to "run the blockade." The vessel in which she sailed was hotly chased by a northern cruiser, and was run ashore and burned. On this occasion many letters and other valuable papers were lost. I will not repeat the stereotyped form of regretting that the task of writing Mitchel´s life has not been entrusted to one better fitted for the work.
