American Bastille


Book Description

John A. Marshall first published this book in 1869. It documents the arrest and incarceration without habeas corpus or trial of Northern judges, Congressmen, ministers, and even women, and exposes Lincoln's utter disregard for the Constitution and the rights of the people of both North and South. Unlike other re-prints of this book, this edition has been completely re-typeset by a real person, thus avoiding the addition of mistakes by optical character recognition software. The editor has taken nothing from Mr. Marshall's work, but added footnotes and clarifications of Latin legal terms and other terms that might not be easily understood by the modern reader, making for a smoother and more enjoyable reading experience.
