Half-Hours in Southern History (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Half-Hours in Southern History This is a book of sketches and might be entitled, A Sketch Book of Southern History. It aims to give in brief outline the salient features of Southern heroism and achievement, and to state rapidly the South's side of the long controversy between the sections. The author has tried to be fair, candid, and truthful. Extremists of either section will not like the volume. The fact that he is a Southerner, however, the author will attempt neither to palliate nor to deny; but he has aimed to write "with malice toward none, with charity for all." The facts stated in this volume have been gathered from a thousand sources; none have been manufactured. Of Southern civilization, the author speaks from experience, as he remembers vividly two generations that represented the Old South so-called. The work is a labor of love; its object, justice to all.

Half-Hours in Southern History


Book Description

This book offers readers a vivid portrait of the Old South written from a Southern point of view in contrast to the historical accounts "written by her enemies." It was the author's intent to present Southern heroism and achievement in an objective manor, "with malice toward none, with charity for all." This detailed Southern history opens with "The South in Olden Days," its part in the Revolution (complete with its heroes and heroines), the Constitution, the War of 1812, and the Mexican War; followed by an examination of "The Homes That Made Heroes;" "The Hundred Years' Wrangle;" "The Private Soldier and the Sailor;" and "Women of the Confederacy." Subsequent chapters are devoted to: "Lee and His Paladins;" "Jackson and His Foot-Cavalry;" "Shiloh and Its Heroes;" and "The South Since the War," which touches on carpetbaggers, the Ku Klux Klan, and much more. This elegant narrative is enhanced by numerous portraits and an index to full names, places and subjects.




The Old South Historical Work (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Old South Historical Work IN connection with each of the lectures in the Old South summer course, a historical tract or leaflet is prepared for circulation among the young people. These Old South Leaflets are usually reprints - a dozen or twenty pages in extent of important original documents, often not in easy reach of the ordinary student, related-more or less directly to the special subject of the lec ture for the week. The leaflets are given to all those attending the lectures as they enter the Meeting House, and at the end of the course those who have carefully preserved their leaflets can have them neatly bound for a few cents, giving them a useful little manual upon the gen eral subject of the course. A good idea of the nature of the leaflets may be gathered from the following list of the subjects of those for the present year. The reader is asked to compare the list with that of the corresponding lectures, given above. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Southern Heroes


Book Description

Excerpt from Southern Heroes: Or the Friends in War Time When the storm of war was about to break and all other voices were growing silent, they continued to the last moment to utter their protest against the mad course on which the South was entering. When the tides of strife and persecution were surging about them, their lips were generally sealed through pru dence, but no amount of suffering or enticement could force them open in behalf of rebellion. The reader will be inclined to think that they did as much in their own way to weaken and cripple the rebellion, to bring on the overthrow of Slavery and to save the Union as any other body of men of equal numbers in any part of the land. It is right, therefore, to record their names, every one of them, in the catalogue of our truest national heroes.

The Old South


Book Description

Excerpt from The Old South: A Monograph I was born in and of the Old South. At six teen, after a year under General Lee, I received my parole at Appomattox, and went home to look upon the ruin of the Old South. Whatever is good or evil in me I owe chiefly to that Old South. Habit, motive, ideal, ambition, passion and prejudice, love and hatred, were formed in it and by it. My life work as a man has been wrought under what is called the New South, but inspiration and aspiration to it came out of the Old South. The spell it cast upon my boyhood is strong upon me after more than a generation has gone. It is not the Spell of enchantment. It has not blinded me to bad or good qualities, and after the lapse of a half century and de spite the tenderness for it that grows with the passing years, I think I can see and judge the Old South and give account of it more impartially than one who received it at second-hand.
