Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial of the Life of Johnston Pettigrew: Brig. Gen. Of the Confederate States Army The great civil war in this country has ended by the total defeat of one of the parties to the issue. Its causes and its consequences stand for judgment before impartial history; and it is not in this generation of victors and vanquished that we can reasonably expect to find an unexaggerated statement of its fortunes - a temperate appreciation of the influences which produced it - or a dispassionate estimate of the results it has accomplished. Time alone - time made up oftenest, both for nations and for men, of "Those slow, sad hours which bring us all things ill, And all good things from evil," can explain not only men to each other, but men and their actions to themselves. We are always working either better or worse than we can know; and whether by victory or defeat, we are always achieving or sacrificing ends that we never purposed. But there is a value in such a conflict beside if not beyond the value of the principles at stake. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
