An Account Of The Assassination Of Loyal Citizens Of North Carolina For Having Served In The Union Army PDF Download

Excerpt from An Account of the Assassination of Loyal Citizens of North Carolina: For Having Served in the Union Army Which Took Place at Kingston in the Months of February and March 1864 From no standpoint either of politics, policy or human ity, could the terms, in their entirety, granted at the time of the surrender be defended. Holding myself, though unwittingly, responsible for placing these murdered victims in a position which caused them to be assassinated; indignant that their murderer, by an untoward blunder, had been placed beyond the reach of the infliction of a just punishment, my grief and chagrin knew no bounds. These feelings had burned within me until the oppression of silence was too much to bear, and under the full glow of feverish heat, this narrative was written; and now, thirty years and more since it was penned, I am not dis posed to change a single word or phrase save in the interest of better expression.
