THE papers on the LAST NINETY DAYS OF THE WAR IN NORTH-CAROLINA,
which originally appeared in the New-York WATCHMAN, and are now
presented in book form, were commenced with no plan or intention of
continuing them beyond two or three numbers. The unexpected favor
with which they were received led to their extension, and finally
resulted in their republication. To do justice to North-Carolina,
and to place beyond cavil or reproach the attitude of her leaders
at the close of the great Southern States Rights struggle--to
present a faithful picture of the times, and a just judgment,
whether writing of friend or foe, has been my sole object. Slight
as these sketches are, they may claim at least the merit of truth,
and this, I am persuaded, is no slight recommendation with the
truth-loving people of North-Carolina.

Kessinger Publishing is the place to find hundreds of thousands of
rare and hard-to-find books with something of interest for e
have been evoked by it will not soon slumber, and it is perhaps
expecting too much of human nature, to believe that a fair and
candid statement of facts on either side will soon be made. There
is as yet too much to be forgotten--too much to be forgiven. The
future historian of the great struggle will doubtless have ample
material at his disposal; but from a vast mass of conflicting
evidence he will have to sift, combine, and arrange the grains of
truth--a work to which few men of this generation are competent.
But meanwhile there is much to be done in collecting evidence,
especially by those who desire that justice shall be done to the
South: and this evidence, it is to be hoped, will be largely drawn
from private sources. History has in general no more invaluable and
irrefragable witnesses for the truth than are to be found in the
journals, memoranda, and private correspondence of the prominent
and influential men who either acted in, or were compelled to
remain quiet observers of the events of their day. Especially will
this be found to be the case when posterity shall sit in judgment
on the past four years in the South. From no other sources can so
fair a representation be made of the conflicts of opinion, or of
the motives of action in the time when madness seemed to rule the
hour, when all individual and all State efforts for peace were
powerless, when sober men were silenced, and when even the public
press could hardly be considered free.
