(Excerpt from Jefferson Davis: His Life and Personality T...)
Excerpt from Jefferson Davis: His Life and Personality There are two reasons for undertaking to write this book. The first and main one is this: a longing to see justice done, so far as my pen may prevail, to Jefferson Davis, President of the ill-starred Southern Confederacy, who, I feel and believe, has had unfair treatment by the historians of the great war between the States, known as the Southern Rebellion, and against whose armies I fought on many fields, including the bloody ones of Chancellorsville, the Wilderness and Spotsylvania. So then, it is not through sympathy with the cause he was at the head of that I take up my pen; no, no, but at the entreaty of two mighty advocates, Truth and Fair Play.

By MORRIS SCHAFF General Schaf Ehas given us an uncommonly vivid and readable autobiography and a historic document of very unusual importance. He was at West Point just at the outbreak of the Civil War, and has caught the spirit of the hour as few have ever caught it. The human interest of the book is as great as the historic. It is full of both humor and pathos. Anecdotes of student pranks, masterly pen portraits of distinguished officers, and impressive battle pieces are welded together into imaginative unity under General Schaff sskillful pen. The book is illustrated by numerous views from photographs. 8vo, ifs.oo net. Postage 20 cents. Ui U. .U c5 go (2 -J uj oS UUJ XH a: Da: uH Zj UJ ll. u.

This outstanding account, written by a sympathetic Union officer and witness to the Civil War's denouement, covers the last days and downfall of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia (led by the indomitable Robert E. Lee), from the fall of Richmond to Appomattox. Morris Schaff focuses largely on the Confederate Army's dramatic retreat and surrender in March and April, 1865, when Lee himself was compelled to admit defeat. Written in the form of letters, Schaff writes a first hand account of the people, places, and events that changed the course of history.
