Truths of History: A Historical Perspective of the Civil War Written from the Southern Viewpoint by Mildred L. Rutherford, J. H. Segars

From the Publisher

Introductions by Mauriel P Joslyn and JH Segars. In today's society we are unaccustomed to writings as bold and direct as those penned by Mildred Lewis Rutherford (1851-1928). The surviving papers of this Georgia educator provide an interpretation of Civil War History that is rarely found in modern texts. "Truths of History," first published in 1920, is an extraordinary presentation of historical viewpoints held by Southerners, past and present. Also included in this reprint is "Wrongs of History Righted," a fiery lecture given by Rutherford in 1914 in Savannah. Miss "Millie" Rutherford's insight into the mindset of Southerners is both fascinating and provocative. Few scholars were more keenly aware of the heart, mind and soul of the Confederate soldier than was this national orator and Grand Historian of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
