the incorrect and often searingly false state
ments found in many of ti.e schools histories
prepared by Northern writers, with the trui
facts of bistory HS recorded by the men wh<
made history. He read numerous extract
from Northern scnool histories and provee
?be falsity of tbete statements by quotation:
froa official records ana letters from general;
and other distinguished men.
The audience was not lar?e, owing to tbi
threatening weather and the fact that then
were ether entertainments Ust evening, ba?
.bose who were present erj?yed his leeton
