I ^ve you the South, gentlemen ! The Southerners A Story of the Civil War BY CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY ILLUSTRATED NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNERS SONS1917 PREFACE There is in my mind a picture of the days ofSixty-one-Sixty-five. I close my eyes, and out ofthe mists of the past there rises before me an oldwhite house on a hill. It is springtime. A child isplaying in the grass under the trees. A womanwatches at the gate. And a soldier comes home fromthe wars. A soldier, sick, worn, weary; a haggard,broken wreck of the brave young man who left allat his country^s first appeal and looked not back solong as he had strength to stand. His fighting daysare over. And the woman meets him at the gate They come down the long walk under the treestoward the little lad, the woman proudly supportingthe mans faltering steps. The child, who has grownto step and speech while the man has been absent,shrinks away from the tired figure in the dusty fadedArmy blue, who stretches out trembling hands to himwith wordssouthernersstory00brad
