Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 8. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Sherman's Meridian expedition and Sooy Smith's raid to West point. (search)
Sherman's Meridian expedition and Sooy Smith's raid to West point. A Review by General S. D. Lee. In the October number of the Southern Historical Society Papers of 1879 is the address of General Chalmers before the Society at the White Sulphur Springs in August--his theme being Forrest and his campaigns. This address is a valuable contribution, and paints, with a comrade's partiality, the character and deeds of Forrest. General Chalmers, however, makes some statements and draws certain conclusions from which I feel compelled to dissent, and I think I am sustained by the facts of the case. Lieutenant-General Polk was killed in battle. Forrest is dead. Is it necessary, when General Chalmers desires to eulogize Forrest, that he should censure Polk? I think it a duty to give my version of Sherman's Meridian expedition to do General Polk justice. General Chalmers dwells almost entirely on the operations in which he personally took an active part. He forgets that while Forrest

A report of the great Lee Memorial Meeting in Richmond in November, 1870, with the splendid orations delivered on the occasion by President Davis and others. 2. Reports of the annual reunions of the Virginia Division Army of Northern Virginia, together with the addresses of Colonel C. S. Venable in 1873; Colonel Charles Marshall in 1874; Major John W. Daniel in 1875; Captain W. Gordon McCabe in 1876; Leigh Robinson, Esq., in 1877; Colonel William Allan in 1878; and General Fitzhugh Lee in 1879. 3. A carefully-prepared Roster of the Army of Northern Virginia. 4. A statement of the Relative Numbers of the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac at their principal battles. As to how the compiler has done his work we may not speak; but we may say that these splendid addresses should find a place in every library. The publishers have done their part of the work in really superb style. The printing (executed by our printer, Mr. G. W. Gary) is as fine a specimen

Southern Historical Society has undertaken the careful publication of whatever is to be found of prominent military importance. The truly interesting, masterly edited organ of the association, the Southern Historical Society Papers, publishes amongst other things the hitherto unknown original reports of the Southern Generals, which are to be distinguished by a regard for truth which has not been a special characteristic of trans-Atlantic reports. Among other articles in the January number, 1879, is to be found an address which Colonel Allan (formerly Ordnance Officer of Jackson's staff), basing his views upon official documents and his personal experience, delivered before the last annual meeting of the Association of the Army of Northern Virginia, which I find so entertaining and instructive that I venture, holding fast to that lecture as a text, but invoking also my personal acquaintance with the leading actors, and my practical knowledge of the field of operations (which I have t

admirers to rear a monument at Winchester to the Ashby brothers (Turner and Richard), who surely deserve such commemoration. The South Carolina monument Association of Columbia, South Carolina, published last year ( edited by the Rocording Secretary of the Association, and published through the courtesy of the proprietors of the News and Courier, Charleston, South Carolina ) a beautiful pamphlet contrining an account of the origin and history of their work, begun in 1869 and finished in 1879, together with a report of the proceedings at the unveiling of their beautiful monument to the Confederate dead, and the full text of the eloquent oration delivered on the occasion by General John S. Preston. The accomplished Secretary (Mrs. Isabel D. Martin) sent us a copy of the pamphlet, but, unfortunately, the Seecretary was absent at the time, it was somehow overlooked, and it thus escaped proper acknowledgment in our Papers. We have space now only to say that we hail with great pl
