Description:This volume was published in 1859. From the book's Introduction: Many years ago, we conversed together on the subject of republishing our father's work, entitled "Incidents of the Western Insurrection," which had been long out of print — although remarkable for the truthful and graphic account it gave of one of the most important occurrences of American history. But, after reflecting on the subject, we concluded, that however interesting as a piece of contemporary history, and however much it might conduce to his fame, there were considerations of delicacy and feeling which stood in the way of such republication. These were principally, the strictures on the acts of persons who had passed from the stage of life, but whose descendants might be pained by the exhibitton of their forefathers in an unfavorable light. Instead of pursuing the course which at first suggested itself, I adopted the plan of writing a biographical notice, giving a brief outline of the incidents of the Insur- rection, saying enough fo do justice- to our father, but carefully avoiding everything that could possibly wound the sensibility of any survivor, or descendant, of those with whom he came in conflict during those trying times. This was published in the "Southern Messenger," Riohmond, Virginia, and afterward as an introduction to "Modern Chivalry."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
