About This Book
The author presents first-hand and investigative accounts of wartime clandestine activity and civil conditions, detailing land and sea blockade-running, cotton diplomacy, and the establishment of covert routes and stations. Subsequent chapters examine prisoner treatment, guerrilla operations, and the experiences and fates of enslaved people during and after the conflict. Discussions address internal governance, maintenance of order, legal disputes over loyalty and property, monetary measures for settling debts, and courtroom procedures. The material blends anecdote and practical description with analysis of political loyalties, military logistics, and legal technicalities, closing with broader reflections and historical inferences drawn from the presented facts.
