Excerpt from Life in Dixie During the War 1863-1864-1865 We have here reproduced in these records, with a faithfulness that is amazing, the spirit of those dark days that are no more. Tragedy shakes hands with what seems to be trivial, and the commonplaces of every-day life seem to move forward with the gray battalions that went forth to war. It is a gentle, a faithful and a tender hand that guides the pen - a soul nerved to sacrifice that tells the tale. For the rest, let the records speak for them selves.
