Excerpt from General Butler in New OrleansIn common With the other devotees of the Union and the Flag, Ihad watched the proceedings of General butler in Louisiana With interest and approval; and shared also the indignation with Which they regarded the perverse misinterpretation put upon his measures by the faction Which has involved the Southern States in ruin, and by their neutral allies abroad.Upon the return of General Butler to the North, I wrote to him, saying that I should like to write an account of his administration of ~the Department of the Gulf, as well as a, slighter sketch of the previous military career of a man Who, Wherever he had been em ployed, has shown an ability equal to the occasion; but that this could not be done, and ought not to be attempted, Without his consent and co-operation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
