Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Robert Warren, the Texan Refugee: A Thrilling Story of Field and Camp Life During the Late Civil War
The recent war between the States gave rise to many courageous deeds, and furnished the histo rian, the poet, and the novelist with the noblest themes that can inspire the pen of any writer. Nor was it the battle-field alone that brought into play the highest qualities of manhood; some of the most signal instances of patriotic self-devotion and heroic endurance were enacted at home - in every town and hamlet throughout the land. The purpose of the present story, which is founded upon actual facts, is to present to the reader a picture of events occurring during the late Civil War, in which the strong points and striking features of Southern life and character in camp and field, as also the home circle, are faithfully portrayed; and with a view of preventing the stirring scenes of that momentous period of our national existence from passing out of the mem ory of the present generation, their narration in.
