Foreword by Douglas Southall Freeman "A moving and powerful story, written by a Tennessean; written from the Southern stand-point, of course, but without a trace of bigotry . . . his choice of selections in that long battle-scarred record is felicitous and beyond reproach."--C. W. Thompson, New York Times "Henry's Story of the Confederacy is a remarkably clear, sympathetic, accurate, and inclusive account of the rise and fall of the Confederate states. The story is told with zest and understanding and a clarity that is not always to be found in the description of battles and campaigns."--Henry Steele Commanger

The Story Of The Confederacy

This is an excellent older biography of Nathan Bedford Forrest. Henry used the Official Records extensively and gathered information from a number of sources to put together a biography that is favorable to Forrest but not worshipful and very entertaining to read.

Reprint. Originally published in 1938 by the Bobbs-Merrill Company.   The Reconstruction is one of the most complex and fascinating chapters in American history. Initially driven by a just repugnance to the institution of slavery, it promised a new era of human rights and a new dispensation for the dispossessed. But it soon became tainted by corruption, vindictiveness and greed, and ultimately failed in its nobler aims. The author undertakes to put together in one continuous thread of story, the key events of the period in each of the southern states.   Includes black-and-white illustrations and Index.
