Excerpt from Civil History of the Government of the Confederate States: With Some Personal Reminiscences I propose in this volume to write of the origin of the Confederate Government, and somewhat of the civil history, interspersing the narrative with a few personal reminiscences. Of the members of the first session of the Pro visional Congress, who framed the Provisional Constitution, organized the government, elected the President and vice-president, only two sur vivhudge Campbell, of Mississippi, and my self. A few who came in at a later day still live. It is foreign from my plan to write of the mili tary achievements and the Splendid services of the army, lessening daily in numbers from sick ness and battle, as this is a matter of military rather than of political history. Many volumes have recorded these glorious deeds. The skill of captains, the endurance and gallantry of those who, amid the weary waiting for help which never came, accomplished marvels of manhood and patriotism, are now slowly acknowledged.
