Excerpt from Rebel Private, Front and Rear: Experiences and Observations From the Early Fifties and Through the Civil WarFather thought a densely settled negro district would be a poor place to have a family during the war, which he said was sure to come; so he sold out and moved to Texas, and settled at Wiess Bluff, J asper County, J une, 1856. At lviess Bluff, father found in old man Simon Wiess a well read and intelligent man, and one who reasoned the future as he did; but his moving ideas were somewhat different, as I have heard him remark to father that if he could sell out at not too great a loss he would move to the Republic of Mexico in order to keep his boys out of war. While at Wiess Bluff, about the only mention of war I would hear was by father and Wiess.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
