A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The preparation of this work was first contemplated, and partly executed, while I was confined in the rebel prisons of the South ;and with the intention of publishing it immediately after my release or escape from captivity. But the sudden collapse of the military power of the people arrayed in armed rebellion against the Government, following soon thereafter, at first determined me to forego the publication of a work, which I conceived might possibly tend to keep alive the embers of discord between us and our Southern foes, and as far as in me lie, consign to oblivion the memory of their wicked deeds, and forget the suferings and wrongs of myself and fellow captives. Subsequent events, however, have shown that our late enemies are not possessed of the same spirit of kindly feeling and friendship that we have extended to them. Moreover, that the leaders among them have, under the dissembling guise of repentance, sought the pardon and confidence of the nation which, by force of arms, in four years of bloody war, they failed to dismember that they might, with the wily arts of the politician, accomplish its destruction.
