Book Description
Excerpt from The Record of Benjamin F. Butler: Compiled From the Original Sources IT is believed that many citizens Of Massachusetts, especially among the younger voters, are not familiar with the career of Gen. Butler before he was elected governor, and do not there fore understand his real character. They hear many changes against him, but they naturally desire some proof that these charges are true. TO meet this demand, it is proposed tee lay before them, in the following pages, the evidence taken from. Public records, documents, Gen. Butler's own speeches, the Sworn testimony Of witnesses, and similar original sources Of.' information; leaving each person to draw his own inferences, and to decide for himself how far Gen. Butler's practice has corresponded with his professions, how much weight should be given to his statements, and whether he is a man who can safely be trusted with the honor Of Massachusetts. The record will be divided into heads, according to subjects; but, in the main, the chronological order will be preserved.
