Dedication. TO ROBERT TOOMBS DU BOSE, WHOSE INTEREST AND AID WERE
INVALUABLE, AND WITHOUT WHOSE COÖPERATION THE
BIOGRAPHY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN PREPARED,
THIS WORK IS DEDICATED BY
THE AUTHOR. "There are courageous and honest men enough in both sections to fight. There is no question of courage involved. The people of both sections of this Union have illustrated their courage on too many battlefields to be questioned. They have shown their fighting qualities shoulder to shoulder whenever their country has called upon them; but that they may never come in contact with each other in fratricidal war, should be the ardent wish of every true man and honest patriot."—Robert Toombs, Speech in U. S. Senate, 1856.
