Books with author Hunter Holmes 1835-1900 McGuire

Excerpt from The Confederate Cause and Conduct in the War Between the States The address on Mr. Lincoln was prepared and delivered at the request of R. E. Lee Camp No. 1 of Confederate Veterans in October, 1909, two years after the publication of the first edition. It was published by order of the Camp, and the edition then published has been exhausted for some time. The author has had numerous applications for additional Copies which he has been unable to supply. He has, therefore, thought it wise to add that address to tis edition, and in addition, to publish a new and larger edition of it in pamphlet form. The address on Chief Justice Taney was delivered before the Virginia State Bar Association at its annual meeting in 1911. It was received by that body with evident commendation, and has been in great demand and widely circulated. It is believed that this address will also add consider able interest to this volume.

The History Keports contained in this volume (with the exception of the last one) were prepared for the Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans of Virginia, and are republished just as they were submitted to that body. When these papers were severally read to the Grand Camp, they were enthusiastically received and approved, were published in many of the newspapers of the country, and five thousand copies of each report were directed to be printed for general distribution. The fact that this issue has been exhausted, coupled with the further fact that many letters have been received from nearly every section of the country commending these reports, has been deemed a sufficient reason to warrant their publication in this more permanent form. It will be noticed that there is some little repetition in the last report of some of the statements contained in some of the others; but it must be remembered that this last report was prepared for the United Confederate Veterans which had already endorsed many of the former reports prepared for the Grand Camp of Virginia, and had directed that these should be incorporated in, and form a part of, the history reports of that great body of Confederate Veterans. The lecture on Stonewall Jackson and the account of the last hours and death of this remarkable man, prepared by his late Medical Director, are such interesting contributions to history, and have been so favorably received, that no apology is deemed necessary for inserting them in this volume.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
