Présentation de l'éditeur

In narrating the process of reconstruction in any of the Southern States, one is naturally drawn into a sympathetic attitude toward the people whose social and political system was being reconstructed. But, though this is essential to a clear understanding and a just portrayal of their problems, their motives, and their acts, it is equally necessary to keep in mind the great and pressing problems that confronted the national government and the forces that determined its policies. An exposition of the national point of view is, of course, precluded here by the character and limitations of the subject, but the author has been careful to keep it in a corner of his mind, and has often found it a valuable corrective. It is hoped that this monograph may present in fairly clear outline a period that has left a deep impress upon the later history, the political organization and the public mind of Texas. Chapters III to VI, with slight modifications, are reprinted from the Quarterly of the Texas State Historical A ssociation, with the kind permission of the editor, Professor George P. Garrison. The author is especially indebted for information and suggestions to Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Mills, General Webster Flanagan, Major I ra H. Evans and Judge A. W. Terrell, of A ustin, Texas; to Mr. P. H. Windsor, formerly Librarian of the University of Texas; Mr. E. W. Winkler, Librarian of the Texas State Library; Mr. Worthington
