Dedication
TO THE
ARMY OF THE SOUTHERN CONEEDERACY,
[figure description] Dedication.[end figure description]
who have delivered the South from despotism, and who have won for
generations yet unborn the precious guerdon of
Constitutional Republican Liberty:
TO THIS VAST LEGION OF HONOR,
whether limping on crutches through
the land they have saved and immortalized,
or surviving uninjured to share the blessings their
unexampled heroism bought, or sleeping dreamlessly in nameless
martyr-graves on hallowed battle-fields whose
historic memory shall perish only with
the remnants of our language,
these pages are
GRATEFULLY AND REVERENTLY DEDICATED
by one who, although debarred from the
dangers and deathless glory of the “tented field,”
would fain offer a woman's inadequate tribute to the noble
patriotism and sublime self-abnegation of her
dear and devoted countrymen.
