 Border and Bastille by George A. Lawrence
About this book:
When, late in last autumn, I determined to start for the Confederate States as soon as necessary preparations
could be completed, I had listened, not only to my own curiosity, impelling me at least to see one campaign of
a war, the like of which this world has never known, but also to the suggestions of those who thought that I
might find materials there for a book that would interest many here in England. My intention, from the first,
was to serve as a volunteer-aide in the staff of the army in Virginia, so long as I should find either pen-work
or handiwork to do. The South might easily have gained a more efficient recruit; but a more earnest adherent
it would have been hard to find. I do not attempt to disguise the fact that my predilections were thoroughly
settled long before I left England; indeed, it is the consciousness of a strong partisan spirit at my heart which
has made me strive so hard, not only to state facts as accurately as possible, but to abstain from coloring them
with involuntary prejudice.
