The Stormy Petrel: An Historical Romance (Classic Reprint)

Since the passions of the hour, together with man} of the chief actors have passed away, the author feels at Hberty to do this act of justice to the memory of the innocent, without harm to the guilty or fear of giving pain to the misguided of either section. In dealing with historical events, the author has been careful to state only what he knows personally or has upon reliable testimony; while in that which relates to theS outhern people, he has quite naturally, being himself aS outherner, earnestly striven to be fair and just. Having but few friends to reward, and no enemies to punish, there has been nothingextenuated, nor aught set down in malice. J.B.
