These biographies will constitute a complete and comprehensivehistory of the great American sectional struggle in the form of readableand authoritative biography. The editor has enlisted the co-operationof many competent writers, as will be noted from the list given below.An interesting feature of the undertaking is that the series is to be impartial,Southern writers having been assigned to Southern subjects andNorthern writers to Northern subjects, but all will belong to the youngergeneration of writers, thus assuring freedom from any suspicion of war-timeprejudice. The Civil War will not be treated as a rebellion, but asthe great event in the history of our nation, which, after forty years, itis now clearly recognized to have been.
