Synopsis
Excerpt from Lewis Meriwether Dabney: A Memoir and Letters
His career was that of a busy professional man and private citizen, deeply interested in everything making for the good of his city, state and country, but modest and reserved, he scorned publicity, and what he did he preferred to do quietly. None the less, he was a highly effective public servant.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Lewis Meriwether Dabney, a man born in the aftermath of the American Civil War, and a product of the Southside Virginia society that was devastated by its defeat. It charts his life, from his childhood in the shadow of his learned father, Dr. Robert Lewis Dabney, to his coming of age in the frontier spirit of Texas. The author explores Dabney's evolution from a Southern gentleman, shaped by his family's traditions and a love for classic literature, to a man embracing both his heritage and the vibrant, fast-growing culture of Texas. Through Dabney's own letters, the book reveals his unique perspective on politics, social change, and the enduring importance of individual liberty. His thoughtful observations on the challenges of a nation transitioning from the old order to a new, and the complexities of race relations in the South, offer a captivating glimpse into a pivotal era in American history. The book's insights on Dabney's character and the historical events he lived through make it a valuable read for anyone interested in understanding the American South, and the enduring power of individual conviction in the face of societal change.
