"This book is in reality a life of Joseph E. Brown, the war Governor of
Georgia whose 'public career for a quarter of a century has been the
history of his state.' It embraces the period of transition from the old
to the new South...The decided influence of Georgia upon questions
like slavery, secession, and reconstruction is carefully traced and duly
emphasized. The style is florid, colloquial and fulsome, with no reference
to authorities. The appendix has a list of Georgia officers in the
Civil War." Larned's Literature of American history.
