1930. The autobiographical account of Louisiana Governor Warmoth.
Warmoth was born in McLeansboro, Illinois. He studied the law and
then served with the Union Army in the Civil War, was wounded at
Vicksburg, Mississippi, dishonorably discharged in the quarrel
between generals Grant and McLernand, was restored to service by
President Lincoln with full rank and position he would have held if
not dismissed. When the war ended he remained in Louisiana, and was
elected Governor in 1868. While Warmoth considered himself a
southerner, during his term as governor Warmoth presided over a
Carpetbagger Reconstruction administration that many describe as
Louisiana's most corrupt. This book is an great example of Southern
politics and thought following Reconstruction.
