IN THIS WORK I have attempted to describe, in part, the fearful privations,
problems and dangers prevailing in certain sections of the South after
the Civil War, or as some prefer, the War Between the Stat]s. Finally it
had ended with the sorrender at Appoinattox Court House of. General
Robert E. Lee to General U. S. Grant and, shortly afterwards, the capitu-
lation of General Joseph E. Johnston to General William Teeumseh
Sherman at Durham, North Carolina.
Despite four terrible years of sacrifice, death and destruction, for many
Southerners the worst was yet to come. Their country was bankrupt;
there was no civil govermnent and no law except that imposed by the
victors at often widely separated points. As a result, lawlessness became
rampant in all save the few towns and cities well garrisoned bv Federal
troops. Disbanded Confederate regulars, generously paroled by their
former enemies, and hundreds of thousands of hungry, homeless and
direetionless former slaves roamed the countryside. Bands of ex-Confed-
crate partisans or irregulars, gangs of bushwhackers and other savage
outlaws cominitted heinous erimes -- generally with impunity.
