The Land We Live In: Or the Story of Our Country (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Land We Live In: Or the Story of Our Country

In dealing with the late war I have sought to be just to both the Union and the Confederacy.

The lapse of over thirty years has given a more accurate perspective to the events of that mighty struggle, in which, as a soldier-boy of sixteen, I was an obscure participant, and all true Ameri cans, whether they wore the blue or gray, now look back with pride to the splendid valor and heroic endurance displayed by the combatants on both sides. Those who belittle the constancy and courage of the South belittle the sacrifices and successes of the North.
