Civil War 150 Year Anniversary Issue.Confederate spy Rose's Volume One, written while in London in 1863, but with notations, pictures, maps and Civil War historical facts attached by the editor. Volume Two continues with Rose's struggles and continue her fight from England.The Kindle History books are personal accounts of war with notations added by the editor to the original manuscripts to enhance the author’s words and descriptions. With the same liberties he also made corrections for clarity sake and readability by today’s standards. For that same reason he also formatted the text to fit the newer eBook readers and other modern reading devises. It is the publishers wish that these changes will bring forth a new age of reading of the older classics in literature.Parsons Publishing Co. Parsons Publishing takes this 150 year old best seller and updates it with an insider's view of Washington just before the start of the Civil War. Placing the reader within the city helps to understand the writer's viewpoints.In the strongest southern voice she could vent in 1863, Rose O’Neal Greenhow wrote her views on the Civil War.Arrested and Imprisoned in House, Volume IHaving been raised to southern standards of the 1800’s, having the ear of Washingtonian’s, members of the congress, Presidents, Judges and kings, her, My Imprisonment and the First Year of Abolition Rule at Washington, reads like a Who’s-Who of Washington politics. With the Editor’s historical updates, biographies and maps, this new addition reads like a Washington insider’s gossip column, Lady Macbeth, political conflicts and intrigue from the Civil War and a rousing good spy novel wrapped in the same jacket. Rose, a southern slave holder-sympathizer living within the political belt in Washington D.C., before and during the Civil War, sends secret military messengers south. She is soon suspected and arrested. Her story, written after being paroled, reveals the inner workings of the Lincoln administration and their not being prepared for the war that was to come by the south. MY IMPRISONMENT, read mostly in Europe after the south was defeated in 1865, was never broadly accepted in America. Mrs. Greenhow’s words echo back to us of those times of bigotry and prejudice, economic and social differences between the North and the South, states versus federal rights, the fight between Slave and Non-Slave State Proponents, and to remind us that the reason for that war may lay just under the surface of today’s many troubles. The editor has added additional foot notes, maps, biographies and historical comment to fill in the blanks left by Rose Greenhow’s original manuscript.This adaption has been edited to fit your eBook reader, I-pod, etc……‘All the President's Men’ come to mind.
