Albion W. Tourgée
0/5 ( ratings)
The elaborate chronicle of the dissolution of the Union and the formation of two distinct governments, one under Southern rule, the other under the rule of Northern capitalists -- which some ambitious writer calling him or herself "Edgar Henry" has been at the trouble to write -- is manifestly little more than a political document intended for use during the coming electoral campaign. It is, in fact, a covert attack on President Cleveland and his administration, and is written with sufficient artfulness to justify a better purpose. It is immensely clever, and that is all we can say about it from teh literary point of view. Its political bearing we cannot discuss here. We will simply remind "Edgar Henry" that open warfare is more honorable than a stab in the dark.
