Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Inside: A Chronicle of Secession Not a Preface merely for preface´ sake, but as few words as possible by way of explanation. This book was written in one of the centres of Secession. Begun at the outset, it grew with the growth thereof, and closed with its ending. Owing to peculiar circumstances, the writer, never out of the pale of Secession during its continuance, had full time and opportunity for as care ful a study of the period as he could wish. If he has cast the result in the form of a fiction his work is none the less as essentially true as the dryest history ever penned; and will be acknowledged to be by all who, by reason of occupying a like position during the war, are competent to speak. And it is as true, in most respects, for one region in the South as for any other, the Secessionist as a class in all its varieties, and the Union men as a class in all its varieties, being, I in every village throughout the South, very much the same as in Somerville. The form of a novel was adopted chiefly to make it impossible for any one to identify the place in which the scene is laid and the characters acting therein. And that for this reason: The period embraced in the story is one which, will be, in all its aspects, a phenomenon interesting to men for generations to come. Other: volumes will treat of other features of this most I remarkable period; this book aims only to photograph the social aspect thereof from a point I entirely within; and it is a period altogether! too sublime, both in its evil and its good, for any thing so short-lived and insect-like as mere; personalities, which, as they buzz and sting but during their brief moment, should perish also; and be forgotten within the same. Yes, if there be one drop of gall, a least splinter of wormwood I in these pages, the writer is ignorant of it. Born at, and having spent almost his entire life in, the South, the writers first affections are, by that nature which attaches every thing that breathes to its own home, with and for the South. At the very same time he entertains a love yet larger and stronger for the nation of which the South is but a part, and is powerless to refuse conviction, both of head and heart, to the truth that the whole is greater than part of the whole. Above all does he yield reverence and affection, still beyond this, to Truth, Right, Conscience, God. A love herein without the least conflict in its three degrees of positive, comparative, superlative. Toward no one, during Secession, has his hatred been even stirred.
