Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketches of the Rise, Progress, and Decline of Secession: With a Narrative of Personal Adventures Among the Rebels

I cannot ex change historic renown for disgrace, national honor for infamy, how splendid soever may be the bribe or how. Violent soever may be the com pulsion. This is my faith as an American citizen; and this book ''will show how sorely it has been put to the test.
