"The most noble sentiment a southern woman or American could express."
 
BROTHER WARRIORS
By Martha Norris McLeod
 
THIS BOOK contains the remi­niscences of a number of the last survivors of the Blue and Gray, and a few of the black race who were slaves until the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation   in 1863.
 
IT RELATES, in the colorful words of those "old folks," who are now 92 to 125 years old, how they "swapped" coffee for tobacco, fought the bushwhackers. How a sergeant halted Lincoln and Grant by mistake, and other experiences so typical of that period.
 
THE READER will be inclined to wander, in imagination, if not through his own memories, to a camp fire reunion of these ancient men. They are arrayed in uni­forms of Union and Confederate soldiers and having a big time spinning yarns. Each is trying to "out do" the last one, or perhaps telling a true experience of ro­mance, humor, pathos, or courage, coloring the incidents as he goes along.
 
THIS BOOK deserves a place on every bookshelf as an historical edition, as well as for preservation for posterity.
