Excerpt from Two Little ConfederatesWhen there first began to be talk at Oakland about the war, the boys thought it would be a dreadful thing; their principal ideas about war being formed from an in timate acquaintance with the Bible and its accounts of the wars of the Children of Israel, in which men, women and children were invariably put to the sword. This gave a vivid conception of its horrors.One evening, in the midst of a discussion about the approaching crisis, Willy astonished the company, who were discussing the merits of probable leaders of the Union armies, by suddenly announcing that he'd bet they didn't have any general who could beat Joab.Up to the time of the war, the boys had led a very un eventful, but a very pleasant life. They used to go hunt ing with Hugh, their older brother, when he would let them go, and after the cows with Peter and Cole. Old Balla, the driver, was their boon comrade and adviser, and taught them to make whips, and traps for hares and birds, as he had taught them to ride and to cobble shoes.He lived alone (for his wife had been set free years before, and lived in Philadelphia). His room over the old kitchen was the boys' play-room when he would per mit them to come in. There were so many odds and ends in it that it was a delightful place.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The "Two Little Confederates" lived at Oakland. It was nota handsome place, as modern ideas go, but down in OldVirginia, where the standard was different from the laterone, it passed in old times as one of the best plantations inall that region. The boys thought it the greatest place inthe world, of course excepting Richmond, where they hadbeen one year to the fair, and had seen a man pull fire outof his mouth, and do other wonderful things. It was quitesecluded. It lay, it is true, right between two of the countyroads, the Court-house Road being on one side, and onthe other the great "Mountain Road," down which the largecovered wagons with six horses and jingling bells used togo; but the lodge lay this side of the one, and "the bigwoods," where the boys shot squirrels, and hunted'possums and coons, and which reached to the edge of"Holetown," stretched between the house and the other,so that the big gate-post where the semi-weekly mail wasleft by the mail-rider each Tuesday and Friday afternoonwas a long walk, even by the near cut through the woods.The railroad was ten miles away by the road. There was anearer way, only about half the distance, by which thenegroes used to walk and which during the war, after allthe horses were gone, the boys, too, learned to travel; butbefore that, the road by Trinity Church and Honeyman'sBridge was the only route, and the other was simply a dim 3bridle-path, and the "horseshoe-ford" was known to theinitiated alone.

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.
