Excerpt from Facts and Falsehoods: Concerning the War on the South, 1861-1865 This little work is offered. It does not aspire to the dignity of History. It is mostly a collection of facts under one cover, which I trust will prove of use to the future historians of the South. Perhaps the fittest title to this work would be "A Protest Against Injustice" - the injustice of misrepresentation - of false charges - of lies. The feeling of injustice certainly inspired the idea of this work. The greater number of the facts herein laid before the reader were not drawn from Southern or Democratic sources, but from high Republican authorities. Part first of this work presents Abraham Lincoln to the people of this generation as his contemporaries saw and knew him. The characteristics portrayed will be a revelation to many readers. As an offset to the falsity of Republican histories of the war of the 6o's, permit me to express the hope that in the near future our people will make more general use of those histories which are truthful and just to the South. For instance. the English historian, Percy Gregg's large history of the United States, might be condensed, or rather that part giving the story of the 6o's could be detached, and published in one small, cheap volume, so that every family in the South can own a copy. John A. Marshall's large volume, "American Bastiles," can be used in every Southern school to rouse in the hearts of boys and girls hatred of Despotism. S. D. Carpenter's "Logic of History," and Matthew Carey's "Democratic Handbook" should not be allowed to go out of print. Both of these books contain much that will be of great value to the future historian. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
