Synopsis

Excerpt from Historic Southern Monuments: Representative Memorials of the Heroic Dead of the Southern Confederacy

Since the wealth of material furnished would make a most ponderable volume if all were used, I have been forced to limit the number of monuments representative of each city and State in order to cover as wide a field as possible.

For the description of many of the monuments and for a large part of the literary matter in this volume I am indebted to the Confederate Veteran, the great historical magazine published by Colonel S. A. Cunningham at Nashville, Tenn., now in[ its eighteenth year. The editor generously gave me permission to make free use of its pages. But for that great storehouse of Southern his tory this book would not' have been thought of and would have been impossible.
