| Publisher Description: THREE MONTHS IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. APRIL, MAY, JUNE, 1863 In 1863, British army officer Lt. Col. Arthur Fremantle sailed to America to observe the ongoing Civil War at first hand. Fremantle reported on his experiences and the people he encountered during his three month stay in the South. Viewed now, more than one hundred and fifty years after they were written, Colonel Fremantle's reports offer today's historians a snap-shot of the times and of a European outsider's view of the conflict as it was happening. As a historical document, the reports convey attitudes and language which represent their time and which would be rightly deemed unacceptable in the 21st Century. |
