Dust jacket has small chips and nicks to spine ends, VG otherwise. Pollard was a fiery and ardent secessionist, journalist, editor of the Daily Richmond Examiner 1861-67. He was bitterly critical of Jefferson Davis, who he felt was incompetant and who thus lost the war for the South. "Pollard was the ablest and most prolific Southern writer of his day...Pollard's works are journalistic, unscientific, bitterly prejudiced, and often unjust, yet possessed of a certain power and, at times, keen judgment. His literary style is good." - DAB. Note: 2 kg parcel, extra postage will be required.
