Popular history describes the Southern Confederacy as an insurrectionary and illegal government. In this volume, the author demonstrates how the Confederate Government established in 1861 was not antagonistic to the original American Union, but was actually created in order to preserve the principles of the Constitution of 1787. A side-by-side comparison of the U.S. and C.S. Constitutions is also included. pb 318 pages $16.50 + shipping.

The Confederate soldier was revered by Northerners and Southerners alike long after the war ended for the gallant and romantic aspects of his character. The author's vivid account of numerous deeds of daring, bravado, cunning, and selfless courage by Confederate partisans during the War of 1861-65 will fire the young reader's imagination — and impress upon him the all-important lesson that some causes are worth risking everything to advance. pb; 352 pages $18.00 + Shipping

“History, as written, if accepted in future years, will consign the South to infamy.” Drawing from a wealth of historical documents, J.L.M. Curry sets the record straight in regard to the Southern States and their role in the establishment, growth, and prosperity of the American Union. Tracing the origin of the War Between the States back to the pre-Constitution struggle between the advocates of a centralized Government and the proponents of State rights, this book demolishes the theory concocted by Webster and Story, and later adopted by Lincoln, that the Union created the States and that the Constitution was ratified by the people of the United States in an aggregate character rather than by independent and sovereign States. Curry also includes an excellent defense of the constitutional right of secession and shows that such a right was asserted by the New England States long before it was acted upon by the South. pb 248 pages $14.50 + Shipping

It is only right that the children of the South know the full meaning of their birthright. Nothing will stir Southern boys to become true and noble men more than to know the history of such men as Lee whose trust was ever in the God of battles, and of Jackson who never fought before he prayed. The object of this little book, prepared for Tennessee schoolchildren in the early Twentieth Century, is to refresh in the minds of the young the principle which inspired their ancestors — the principle of dying for what they believed to be right. pb 152 pages $9.50 + Shipping

Of all the figures of the War Between the States, none have fascinated Americans from both North and South more than the mighty Confederate General, Robert Edward Lee. In his usual lucid style, Thomas Nelson Page tells the story of Lee's life and accomplishments, focusing on the character and moral fiber which distinguished him from other great military leaders of the past. pb 326 pages $18.00 + Shipping

Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson has been to a considerable extent the subject of legend. The cause for which he fought and died has long ago been overthrown, but the intervening years have but accentuated interest in the life of one who fought for the right as he saw it. This book focuses on the years of Jackson's youth, his family life, schooling, and military career up to the beginning of the great War Between the States. pb 207 pages $13.00 + Shipping

This is one of the most comprehensive treatises ever published on the doctrine of State sovereignty and the inherent right of a State to secede from the Union. Written by a New Orleans lawyer who was to have been one of Jefferson Davis’ counsel in the treason trial which never occurred, this book compiles extensive quotations from the earliest American statesmen, both before and after the ratification of the Constitution in 1789, which prove beyond all argument that the American people were never organized into a consolidated democracy, but had existed in their colonial condition as separate political bodies and continued to do so after their independence from Great Britain. The author singles out the tortured logic of Webster and Lincoln for heavy criticism, and shows that allegiance and treason are terms which have no meaning constitutionally if not in reference to a sovereign State. Also included are nine lengthy appendices outlining the ordaining acts of the original thirteen States in the Union, the changes made to the Constitution by the Southern States in 1861, the original forms of the Tenth Amendment, a review of Alexander Stephens’ Constitutional View of the War Between the States, etc. pb 578 pages $33.50 + Shipping

The War of 1861-65 was waged so that a theory could triumph — the Story-Webster theory of a consolidated nation made up of the people of the United States in an aggregate capacity. However, a triumphant theory is far from a proven fact. Another excellent work by Dr. Bledsoe, this book does a fine job of answering the question, “Was secession a constitutional right previous to the War of 1861?” and demonstrates how a false premise can never lead to a true conclusion, no matter how much effort — or blood — is spent to bring it to that end. pb 272 pages $15.50 + Shipping

In late 1864 and early 1865, 62,000 battle-hardened Northern soldiers, under the command of William Tecumseh Sherman, marched through Georgia and South Carolina, destroying everything in their path. Sherman had promised that he would “make Georgia howl” and “punish South Carolina as she deserves” for her “sins” against the Union. In the name of “destroying slavery” and with the blessings of Abraham Lincoln, Sherman’s troops destroyed civilian homes, desecrated graves, raped and murdered helpless women and children, and left thousands, both White and Black, in their wake to forage through the destruction for what food they could find. This book details the horrors experienced by the citizens of Columbia, South Carolina at the hands of their Northern invaders. This expanded edition includes an additional eyewitness account of the burning of Columbia by Dr. Daniel Trezevant. pb 116 pages $8.50 + shipping.

This book chronicles the ordeal of six hundred Confederate officers who were confined by their Yankee captors in the stockade on Morris Island, South Carolina, directly under the fire of Confederate guns, and then were subsequently starved on rations of rotten corn and onion pickle at Fort Pulaski, Georgia and Hilton Head, South Carolina by order of U.S. Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton. The author, a Major in the Confederate Army, was one of the survivors of the group. pb; 274 pages $15.50 + Shipping

Written by the only son of President Zachary Taylor, this book is the story of the War Between the States and its aftermath as seen through the eyes of a Confederate General. When it first appeared in print, it was tauted by such leading Southern organizations as the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the Southern Historical Society as a valuable resource for future historians. Even the New York Herald described Taylor's memoirs as "the most credible attempt by a Southerner" to interpret the war. pb 274 pages $15.50 + Shipping

Here is an important prison narrative, written by a Northern soldier who was captured in September 1863 along the Rapidan and imprisoned at Andersonville prison in Georgia. His account of the conditions he encountered there is of interest, but more important is his defense of the prison commander Henry Wirz, who was charged by the U.S. Government and executed after the war for “barbarous crimes against humanity.” He not only contends that the unfortunate officer was unjustly lynched, but shows that “the Federal authorities must share the blame” for Andersonville because of their refusal to exchange prisoners. The author’s description of the trial, conviction, and execution of Wirz is extremely sympathetic and provides a welcome alternative to the one-sided and distorted picture painted by Yankee historians. pb 248 pages $14.50 + Shipping

Written by the daughter of Texas Senator Louis T. Wigfall, this volume retells the experiences of a 17-year-old schoolgirl who finds herself stranded in an unfriendly North at the outbreak of war in 1861 and must run a blockade to get back home to the beleagured South. The numerous personal letters reprinted in these pages provide an insightful look into the thoughts of the typical Southerner as the young Confederacy struggled for existence. Helpful character sketches are also given of such noted Confederate figures as Jefferson Davis, John C. Breckinridge, Judah P. Benjamin, Joseph E. Johnston, and, of course, her own father. pb 258 pages $17.00 + shipping.
