add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Private and Official Correspondence of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler during the Period of the Civil War." This book is published in the five volumes. In compiling and publishing these volumes, Jessie Ames Marshall has been animated by a sense of pious duty to the memory of her grandfather. She expresses clearly in her preface her conviction that the harsh judgments have pervaded the military and political history as to the character and conduct of General Butler have been based largely on ignorance, error, and malice.
