This story by Helen D. Longstreet is a commentary on the serious social issues of the early twentieth century. Her two-part narrative takes place in Blue Ridge mountains of North Georgia. Part one involves Margaret's romance with her lover, Captain Pulliam, and the tough choices she must make for her family. The second part describes the efforts by Katy to help her brother, little Billy Elrod, who is dying from a consumptive disease caused by a cotton mill somewhere near the Tallulah River. A big city power company has dammed the river above the beautiful Terrorah Falls he loves so dear. A powerful storm breaks the dam and lets the river run free again in the spectacular gorge. Billy is eager to see the misty rainbows above the falls one last time . . . .
This genealogy of the Southern branch of the Longstreet family with it related lines by Edward Mayes provides a unique view of the relationships which produced such prominent figures like William Longstreet, the inventor, Confederate General James Longstreet, Lee's "Old Warhorse," and the Rev. A. B. Longstreet, judge, legislator, author and educator. There are also a few lesser known names like Daniel Longstreet the Continental Marine, Gilbert Longstreet, a "Son of Texas," and James C. Longstreet, Judge and Chancellor of the Univ. of Mississippi. While the text reveals an interesting lineup of notable related individuals like Thomas Blossom, who came over on the Mayflower, and Supreme Court Justice L.Q.C. Lamar, the story's main focus is on the Longstreet line as it passes from the immigrant ancestor through Judge Longstreet and the events which center on his family and life. Along the way, Mayes expounds in great detail on early Dutch life in New York and New Jersey. The Longstreet manuscript contains numerous footnotes (converted to endnotes), several interesting appendices, and a very convenient index. If you are just starting your research and think you may be related to someone in this family, or if you are a more advanced researcher taking a more detailed look at the interrelated families, this book is a simple and convenient place to research your line.

As one of the greatest generals to emerge from the War Between the States, James Longstreet fought in nearly every major battle of the Civil War . . . Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, the Wilderness and many others, but it was his stand after the war and his efforts to help heal the Union which further define him as a man apart. As a result, controversy followed him for the rest of his life. Not much is known about his family and even less about his personal life . . . and much of what is known has been inaccurately portrayed or deliberately biased by historians. Only recently have scholars taken another, closer look at this great warrior. They have exposed the deliberate lies of the Lee cult designed to ruin his reputation. General James Longstreet: A Family Portrait is a genealogy and attempts to define the man by taking a closer look at his progenitors and prodigy, those who came before him and those he left behind. It is a fascinating tapestry of nobility, adventurers and everyday people. Masterly woven together and easy to follow through the generations, it's a story well worth reading.
This series of short essays by Helen D. Longstreet, second wife of Confederate Lt. Gen. James Longstreet, was first compiled and published in 1917 by A. B. Caldwell Publishing Co. in Atlanta, Ga. For the most part they are interesting stories about events which occurred during and after the Civil War. Helen talks about her family and how she met and fell in love with the old soldier, a man 40 years her senior. She vehemently defends her husband against scurrilous accusations spewed forth by the Lee cult, a group of ex-Confederates, who sabotaged the reputation of anyone who was bold enough to criticize any aspect of General Robert E. Lee's conduct during the war.
At eighty-three Helen has had enough of world conflict and wars. In this essay she preaches about what she perceives as an attainable path to world peace. Born during the Civil War she has seen the devastation and misery caused by the world's great powers struggling for supremacy and domination of vast stretches of humanity. She has lived through two world wars and numerous smaller conflicts, but now, at the end of World War II, she sees a threat to humanity itself, atomic power. Helen calls for the establishment of two world confederations of peace, one composed of the women of the world and the other of everyone else. She produces testimonials from various influential people to support her cause. Finally, she plugs for her long dead husband, Confederate General James Longstreet, in her continuing effort to rehabilitate his tarnished reputation.
