Excerpt from The Dial, Vol. 53: July 1 to December 16, 1912 It is a book a man might well be proud to leave behind him, for it could only have been written by a man of fine mentality - warmth of heart - of true reverence for the best in womanhood - and above all by a man in whose breast the flame of true patriotism brightly burned - the patriotism that was natural to one who was a loyal son of the South, and a true American.
