"The 'Sunday Mercury's' correspondents wrote of contemporary events, scenes, and personalities. They did not write from hindsight, nor are they prone to exaggerate their personal roles. The practice of the old soldier over-emphasizing his actions and placing himself on center stage has resulted in wags referring to Henry Kyd Douglas' 'I Rode With Stonewall" as 'Stonewall Rides With Me.' Generals, such as Robert E. Lee and U.S. Grant, made it a practice to read enemy newspapers. It has been said that General Lee, because of the skill of the Confederate spy network in the Maryland counties fronting Chesapeake Bay and the Potomic River, true, insofar as it applies to the 'Sunday Mercury,' the information reaching Lee from this source would be a spymaster's dream" from the foreword by Edwin C. Bearss. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
