Civil War Book Dedication

J. L. M. Curry dedicates his book Civil History of the Government of the Confederate States with Some Personal Reminiscences (1901) to three Confederate generals—one of whom,, Stephen D. Lee, he describes as "the knightly soldier, the Christian gentlemen, the true patriot"—as well as to the "Survivors of the 'Lost Cause,'" particularly the "women of the Confederacy."
