The Story Of The Confederacy

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

Robert Selph Henry was the author of several important and popular books on the Civil War, its prelude and aftermath, including The Story of the Mexican War.
