Summary

A collection of the writings of Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve, a classical scholar, Civil War journalist, and Charleston native. Includes autobiographical essays, sixty-three editorials written for the Richmond Examiner during the war, and a series of his reflections on the war written thirty years later. The latter pieces "are frequently vitriolic attacks not only on the evil and immoral Yankees, miscegenation, Jews, and critics of slavery, but also on Jefferson Davis, his hapless Confederate administration, and the struggling Southern armies."--Jacket
