About the Book The American Civil War, which broke out in 1861, was fought over the Confederate States' wish to continue the practice of slavery, and the Union's wish to preserve the union. As to population and resources, the Confederate States were out-matched by the Union on a factor of 2 to 3 times on most indicators.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Leather Stocking and Silk; Or Hunter John Myers and His Times: A Story of the Valley of VirginiaIN this little tale the writer has attempted to sketch in outline, some of the personages, and modes of life and thought in Virginia, at the commencement of the present century. The chief character, who gives his name to the book, and around whom the other actors group them selves, had like many of the rest a real existence, and is drawn with as near an approach to life in personal and characteristic traits, as the writer found it possible. One who knew him well, testifies to the accuracy of the delineation in all its material points.It is only necessary to add, that the story is su'nny rather than gloomy - comedy rather than tragedy dealing rather with peculiarities and humors, than with those profound passions of the soul which excite so ter rible an interest in the reader. If the book be found entertaining, and (above all else) the spirit of it pure, the writer will be more than satisfied.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
