Excerpt from Kennesaw's Bombardment: Or How the Sharpshooters Woke Up the BatteriesAs the reader will readily gather by wading through it, and looking at the pictures, it is intended as a historical novel, - as a view of the panorama which war spread out upon and around Kennesaw Mountain on that day of thrilling events, - the historical part of it being as nearly correct as it is possible to make it by laboriously and care fully fishing out the facts with a drag-net with pin-hook attachment, and the fictitious part being as fascinating as the writer's riotous love of sentiment will allow. If it be urged by the northern reader that the sentiment is all southern, it is a fair reply to say that that was the kind which prevailed on Kennesaw at the date shown in the book, and the author's intention and determination have been to make the picture a true and characteristic one.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
