Book Description
Excerpt from Peducahans in History The history of Paducah links itself with the lives of its native or adopted sons and daughters whose names shine upon the local, State and National page. As soldier, statesman and author their work grows brighter with the years, inspiring the young and stimulating the old. On the battle field they gave themselves, as statesmen they were the people's tribunes, as authors they con tributed richly to the treasure-house of literature. Unostentatiously they shared honors with the greatest, drank freely from the cup of success; then the Chaplet of laurel was thrown aside, the trump of fame disregarded. In all that was done they reckoned themselves as secondary in the achievement of a purpose, and this self effacement prompted in no small measure the investigations revealed by these sidelights.

Excerpt from Peducahans in History The history of Paducah links itself with the lives of its native or adopted sons and daughters whose names shine upon the local, State and National page. As soldier, statesman and author their work grows brighter with the years, inspiring the young and stimulating the old. On the battle field they gave themselves, as statesmen they were the people's tribunes, as authors they contributed richly to the treasure-house of literature. Unostentatiously they shared honors with the greatest, drank freely from the cup of success; then the chaplet of laurel was thrown aside, the trump of fame disregarded. In all that was done they reckoned themselves as secondary in the achievement of a purpose, and this self-effacement prompted in no small measure the investigations revealed by these sidelights. More than a hundred friends are due thanks for courtesies extended while the chapters were in preparation. Dr. E. B. Curd of Hazel, and Captain William T. Rigby of the Vicksburg National Military Park Commission were exceedingly kind in supplying valuable data. Captain T. P.. Fauntleroy of Kevil, and Captain Edwin P. Farley of Paducah answered inquiries that resulted in the presentation of new matter. Miss Harriett Boswell of the Paducah Carnegie Library, and the assistant librarians, very generously offered the volumes of that institution for research. Judge E. W. Bagby of Paducah was frequently consulted, his wide reading and personal knowledge of the subjects discussed proving exceptionally advantageous. Mr. W. G. McFadden of Paducah made possible the reproduction of several rare pictures which had never been in print. Particular thanks are due Mr. V. Blaine Russell for reading manuscript and proof, and offering suggestions. Without his sympathetic assistance the pen portraits would have lacked far less color and the events of their time lost much of the interest they might possibly contain. The preparation of the book has been a pleasure and if by it the life or deeds of any subject are illumined the writing has not been in vain.

Book Description
Excerpt from Wrongs of History Righted My object this evening is not to stress the omissions of history, but rather to urge that some of the wrongs that have already entered history be righted. We of the South have borne too long and too patiently the many misrepresentations concerning us, and we cannot afford to be patient longer. There is a hope that some of the omis sions may enter future history, but what hope can there be of these misrepresentations ever being righted if we neglect to do it now? They have condemned us; they are condemning us; and they will continue to condemn us, if we longer remain indifferent. Let us remember what Dr. Curry said, If history as now written is accepted it will consign the South to infamy.
