Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters of My Father to My Mother: Beginning With Those Written During Their Engagement, With Extracts From His Journal, Giving Description of His Wife and of Himself, Also, a Phrenological Examination of Himself Made by Prof. Crane The publication of this work (for private circulation only) has been suggested by reading the letters written by my father to my mother, beginning with those written during their engagement. A great deal has been published relating to my father´s public life, illustrating the exalted principles that governed him, and made him sacrifice self-interest and all his natural and honorable aspirations for fame, honor and distinction. Little did he then think that this self immolation for the good of his country would in after years give him more reputation than was acquired by his successful contemporaries. His unique position, standing alone endeavoring to prevent disunion which he knew would bring ruin and degradation upon South Carolina, has placed him upon a footing with, or perhaps higher than all of South Carolina´s distinguished sons. He alone seemed to know the fatal results of secession, and though he would have died for his State he would not betray her. When the ruin did come, instead of exulting in the fulfilment of his prophecies, he took part with his State and did all he could to relieve her. As Provisional Governor he was able to do much. He lived to see his political course approved by a large majority, and died at peace with all mankind, honored and respected by all who knew him. As in public, so was he in private life. His warm feelings were centred in his family; he loved his wife with a devotion never surpassed and which time only increased. This love his children also shared; a more devoted husband and father never lived. The letters herein published prove my father´s beautiful domestic character, and will be valued by his descendants, and considered a precious legacy for ages to come.
