The Publishers take pleasure in announcing that they have secured the
talents of this distinguished Author and Historian, in preparing a work
worthy of the theme and the occasion.
The history of the vanquished has too often fallen to the pen of the
victor, and to insure justice to the Southern cause, the pen must be taken by
a Southern man, who is willing to dovote his time and talents to the vindication
of his countrymen, in a history which shall challenge the criticism of the
intelligent, and invite the attention of all honest inquirers.
Mr. Polland, of all writers in the South, is doubtless the best qualified to
prepare a complete and Standard History of the War, and to commit to the
present and future generations a faithful and worthy record of their great
struggle, and of a cause lost save in honor.
He comes to the work by the encouragement and authority of Generals
R. E. Lee, J. E. Johnston, Beauregard, “Dick” Taylor, Fitzhugh Lee, Ex-Gov.
Wise, and other distinguished Confederate leaders.
