The purpose of this book, The Camp Fires of the Con federacy, is to truthfully and accurately set forth every feature of the struggle. It contains the greatest anecdotal collection ever made of the humors of the war; thrilling narratives of deeds of heroism performed, hand-to-hand struggles, bold dashes, bril liant successes, clever captures, exploits of scouts and spies, perilous journeys, terrible hardships, imprisonments and hair breadth escapes, daring raids, and various other interesting inci dents; also Confederate poems — the martial melodies dear to Southern hearts, pathos and patriotism — and selected songs, sung by the Lads in Gray, which encouraged in trials, cheered by the lonely camp fire, and incited to victory.
