Book Description
Excerpt from Genealogy of Jefferson Davis: Address Delivered October 9, 1908, Before Lee Camp, No; 1, Confederate Veterans, Richmond, Va In quoting from this record it will be necessary to bring forward certain controversies that were raised among the brethren, but these will be employed merely as items of history. I shall endeavor strictly to observe the proprieties of the occasion andthe requirements of the historic method. If I should fail to reach the ideal in these particulars, the failure will be due to defect of skill, and in no sense to defect of purpose and principle. I appeal to your generosity, and request a favorable construction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
