The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1881-07-21

TNhe undersigned is now ready to receive sub
i scriptions for copies of the above named
important historical work, the last volume of
which is passing rapidly through the press
The great interest which is felt in all parts of
the country to read what the distinguished
head of the late Confederate Government has
to say about the causes which led to the war
between the United States and the States
which seeded and the results of the great
conflict is already manifested by many thou
sands in their desire to receive early copies of
the work. The work will be illustrated with
portraits of Mr.. Davis, his Cabinet, Aides, and
Generals, and with illustrative wood cuts.
The following extracts from Mr.. Davis in
PRODUCTION to his book will give an idea of the
work from the authors standpoint: "a duty
to my countrymen; to the memory of those
who died in defense of q cause consecrated by
Inheritance, as well as sustained by convic-
ton; and to those who. perhaps less fortunate,
staked all, and lost all, save life and honor, in
its behalf, has impelled me to attempt the vim
dication of their cause and conduct. For this
purpose havedeeided to present an historical
sketch of the events which preceded and at
tended the struggle of the Southern States to
maintain their existence and their rights as
sovereign communicable creators, not the
creatures, OF the General Government. 1880.
To the parents, the widows, and the orphans Of
the Confederate dead, offer the consolation
that those for whom they mourn, died for the
right-a willing sacrifice on the altar Of their
country, where their memories, enshrined in
the hearts of their people, will go down in ira
dition to posterity, immortalized by valor in
defense of home, and martyrdom for liberty"
