Excerpt from The Adventures of a Conscript
I had been a frequent visitor at their home for some months previous to this, paying my atten tions to Miss Edith, the youngest of the three sisters. She and I had often talked of the is sues of the war. She was extremely loyal to the South, and believed, as (lid thousands of other Southern people, the Yankees would not fight; that they were an inferior and cowardly race, and that one Southern man was more than equal to five of them. She used all the persuasive powers at her command to influence me to volun teer in the Confederate army, but I always met her arguments with my side of the question, and her influe cc proved of no avail.'

Excerpt from The Adventures of a Conscript
From early childhood I had been a close student and an earnest seeker after knowledge. I believed it was possible in this great country of ours for a man of ambition to reach a higher and nobler life than those who were content to grow up and fall like the leaves.
I had completed the common grades and was ready to enter upon higher branches when the call to arms came. In politics I had been trained in the old Whig school, and although, on account of my youth, I had taken but little interest in affairs of Government, living in the midst of slavery, and daily observing the evils of the whole system, I had become thoroughly imbued with the anti-slavery doctrine, and every day was more and more convinced in my own mind that it was wrong.
When, in 1860, Mr. Lincoln was elected President, I then heard the mutterings of secession, and the boast that one Southern man was equal to ten "Yankees." In a short time one State after another followed in rapid succession, severing the ties that held them together.
