Excerpt from Life of Jefferson Davis With a Secret History of the Southern Confederacy, Gathered Behind the Scenes in RichmondJefferson Davis should have a truthful and acute biographer, one who would do something more than echo the shallow clamors and interested opinions of the day. Whatever the estimate of his person, he performed a great part in history; and his character, mixed, angular, abounding in surprises, full of caprices and apparent inconsistencies, is precisely that which affords the most interesting and vivid subjects for biography. The writer is conscious of attempting a high and difficult task - an extraordinary work. He comes to it not only with ample literary preparation, but with an unusual animation. He has been accused Of personal hostility to Mr. Davis; and is today, perhaps, in all his literary capacities, most widely known to the country as censor Of the Confederate Chief. He repels the accusation of any prejudice, in the very front Of his work; he is able and willing to do exact justice to Mr. Davis; and if he ever attacked h-im it was through supreme devotion to a great cause, and from a just resentment toward the man who mis guided and wrecked it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

<p>Excerpt from The Southern Spy: Letters on the Policy and Inauguration of the Lincoln War, Written Anonymously in Washington and ElsewhereIt cannot be doubted, sir, that you procured the battle of Sumter; you had no desire or hope to retain the fort; you neglected to fight, until every chance Of doing SO with success had passed away; and when at last you did draw your sword against the sovereignty Of South Carolina, the circumstances of the battle, the non-participation Of your &#64258;eet in it, show that it was not a contest for victory, but onlya shallow trick to entitle you to the advantages to be derived from an action for assault and battery. It was, sir, a trick - a trick to transfer easily, and under false pretences, the matters in dispute between the two sections from the arbitrament of reason to that of arms. How is it that you hope to make yourself not responsi ble for this unnatural and Shocking appeal to war? Was not your formal intimation to the Montgomery Government that you were about to resort to force, a challenge to arms?
