XX "Dedicated to the memory of those who followed the banners of Grant and Lee - Americans all, equally brave, equally patriotic, equally conscientious. [From the foreword] While this book is a novel and not a history, the author has introduced some historical personages and has aimed to portray them faithfully and with impartiality to the conflicting issues they represented. In his pen portraits of Lincoln and analyses of his unique character the author has been aided by the memories of his father, who was a friend of Lincoln.

With all the dignity of a Roman senator, Mr Davis arose and took my hand, his other hand resting on my shoulder, and gently said: Goodbye goodbye, my friend . And may the good God ever have you in His keeping, and speed you in your quest! And my best wishes to your people, and to all the people of the North; And to the Great American union: Peace, Prosperity , and Perpetuity.…
