For any student of the War Between the States, this treasury of contemporary documentsall but a few written by Southerners offers a wealth of insight and perspectives on life in the South during the conflict, how newspapers and periodicals covered events, and how Southerners reacted to the disastrous struggle that disrupted their lives and ravaged their homes, farms, and cities. Selections have been arranged in an order that demonstrates the progress of the war, beginning with a South Carolina ordinance to secede from the Union and ending with a final message in 1865 from the last Confederate general to surrender.
Relive the day-to-day reality of the War as captured in a rich legacy of written records: official battle reports, general orders, letters, sermons, songs, published articles, novels, and accounts of travel, prison, and conditions of army life. Included are contemporary newspaper accounts of the Battle of Fort Sumter, a stirring address to his soldiers by Jefferson Davis in 1864, a Confederate prisoners account of life in a Yankee prison, a newspaper report of the sack and destruction of Columbia, South Carolina, a poignant last-ditch attempt by General E. Kirby Smith in 1865 to rally the Trans-Mississippi Army, and many more. A selection of authentic cartoons, sketches, and broadsides from various periods of the War adds a special you-are-there flavor to the book.
Carefully chosen and annotated by a distinguished authority on the Confederacy, these selections paint a broad and moving picture of the attitudes, emotions, and ideas that motivated and sustained the South during the War. Assembled in this inexpensive paperback edition of The Confederate Reader, they will bring new insight and enlightenment to any Civil War buff or student of American history.

Years of investigation into the printed records of the Confederacy have multiplied the thanks due to helpful scholars, librarians, and collectors in the compilation of The Confederate Reader . Several thousand Confederate publications have been closely examined and many, many of them read in their entirety. As some of these publications are rare (located perhaps in a single known copy), many libraries have been used to build the book. Chief among them are the Emory University Library, the Henry E. Huntington Library, the Boston Athenaeum, the Confederate Museum, and the Alderman Library of the University of Virginia.
The first tangible work on The Confederate Reader was made possible by a grant from the Huntington Library to work in its fine collection of Confederate material and by a corollary leave of absence from Emory University. My gratitude to both of these institutions is deep and sincere.
Individuals as well as institutions demonstrate the cooperative spirit of the scholarly world. My particular thanks are due Miss Margaret Jemison of Talladega, Alabama; Mr. Harold Mason of New Rochelle, New York; Miss Eleanor Brockenbrough, Miss India Thomas, Mr. McDonald Wellford, Mr. Louis Rubin, and Mr. Clifford Dowdey of Richmond; Miss Mary Isabel Fry, Miss Gertrude Ruhnka, and Mr. Carey S. Bliss of San Marino, California; Mr. John Cook Wyllie of Charlottesville, Virginia; Mr. John L. B. Williams and Mr. Earl S. Miers of New York; Mr. Floyd M. Cammack and Mr. Ralph G. Newman of Chicago; Mr. Robert H. Woody of Durham, North Carolina; and Miss Marjorie Lyle Crandall and Mr. Walter Muir Whitehill of Boston: all these and many more.
