Sketches of Memphis Veterans -
1897 |
| |
|
Although the content of this book may be considered "Politically
Incorrect" by today's standards, it is indeed, a historical book and
deserves to be seen and/or read by anyone who is interested.
It is also invaluable to Tennesseans doing genealogy work on their
ancestors who might have served in the Civil War.
The author of this book is J. Harvey Mathes and it was originally
published in 1896. The author's intent was to "...compile a
complete and reliable list of all members of the Confederate
Historical Association of Memphis ... and to preserve the facts of
their lives and to record their oral histories". The
book has been preserved by the Library of Congress who has issued an
internet version. The original book is now in the Public Domain. The first
23 pages, including the Index and Introduction, are posted below in
JPEG format so one may view individual pages. In addition, the full
302 page PDF file of the book from the Library of Congress
is posted below so it can be saved or viewed in Book Format on your
computer. |
