WEARING OF THE GRAY; BEING PERSONAL PORTRAITS, SCENES AND ADVENTURES OF THE WAR.

By JOHN ESTEN COOKE, FORMERLY OF GENERAL STUART'S STAFF, AND AUTHOR OF “SURRY OF EAGLE'S NEST,” “STONEWALL JACKSON,” ETC. “The blessed and ever-glorious dead are not here to defend their memories from the taint of the reproach of rebellion and treason. Alas! I am alive and here, and am bound at every hazard to deelare that these men were no rebels and no traitors... that they were pure patriots, loyal citizens, well tried and true soldiers, brave, honest, devoted men, who proved their principles in their principles by the deaths which canonized them immortal heroes and martyrs.” Henry A. Wise.
