Owen in his Bibliography (1898) called "the most valuable contribution to the history of the State yet made."

Description:
Orig. pub. Mobile, AL 1876. Reprinted 1975. Print on Demand Edition 2018. xv, 528 pp. This is an important book for the study of the organization of political parties in the South, consisting in great measure of original material. Alabama was the cradle of the Confederacy and William Lowndes Yancey was the moving spirit of secession. The book concentrates on political factions in Alabama in the 1850s and includes many of Yancey's speeches. Other Gulf states enter the picture with the intrusion of the federal government. Early Indian problems are covered as are South Carolina's Nullification efforts. Particularly intriguing is the dialogue within the Cotton Belt regarding the Border States. The author is concerned with examining the reasons for the secession of the southwestern states with an aim of obliterating sectional misunderstanding. He considers factors leading to secession in the context of Alabama history and the events of national history leading up to the election of Lincoln and the…

Description:
Orig. pub. Mobile 1890. Reprinted 1975, 1988 from 1892 ed.. Print on Demand Edition 2011. (ii), 12, 376 pp., frontis DeLeon, an accomplished author, wrote this book almost immediately after the war, revising and condensing notes and recollections gathered during its most trying times. The book is unique in that DeLeon experienced many events that other writers of the times largely glossed over. As a civilian, he wrote of the politics of the Confederacy and described many of the tensions within the government. He omits the campaigns and battles which he did not see and which have been the subject of so many writings. Instead he had the object of trying to paint honestly the inner life of the South and what was going on in its cities and towns as the war waged on. Geographically, it covers the war throughout the South but with the largest emphasis on happenings in Alabama and Virginia.

Description:
Orig. pub. Montgomery, AL 1861. Reprinted 1975. Print on Demand Edition 2018. viii, 9-464, XII pp., index As a delegate to Alabama's secessionist convention of 1861, William R. Smith recognized the drama and emotion involved in his state's fateful decision to leave the Union and tried to record for posterity as many of the key speeches and debates as practical in a single volume. Thomas McAdory Owen called this book "the principal authority for the events of that period" and it remains a starting point for interested readers and scholars of that time. The early portion of the book is the most valuable as it concentrates on the four days of the debates culminating in the vote for secession. Through the debates one sees the maneuvering between the secessionist forces and cooperationist parties, the arguments employed, the dominance of the secessionist forces, and the tensions accompanying the exchanges. Included are many of the telegrams and letters pouring in among the delegates.

(vii), 650 pp., new intro., new index This "classic study of Mississippi's military heritage" is the result of "a monumental task of locating, identifying, arranging, editing and publishing," performed by Dunbar Rowland, then director of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. It is primarily concerned with the Civil War, but all wars and campaigns from 1803 to 1898 are included. Each war is accorded a separate chapter, then subdivided into histories of each military unit. The sources included original manuscript rolls, minutes of military boards, order books, correspondence, diaries, scrap books, official reports, military telegrams, registers of appointments, newspaper files, military service blanks, interviews with soldiers, miscellaneous collections of military papers, and printed sources. Questionnaires distributed to Mississippi's veterans yielded valuable information that would otherwise have been lost. The new…
