Confederate Books

Dear HK,

I recently had the pleasure of discovering Project Gutenberg, a group of volunteers who take public domain books and turn them into ebooks. Searching through their archives of ebooks I found hundreds of Civil War books, including dozens of Confederate books, including memoirs by rebel veterans and books about the Confederate States. I strongly believe in that passion for reading and studying history is something to be encouraged, especially when the material is available at no charge. [Below] is a list of Confederate books and direct links to the ebooks. Noteable authors are in bold text (RE Lee, Jeff Davis, Sam Watkins, etc.). I invite you to distribute the list to anyone and everyone who has a passion for the material involved.

Your friend,

Zach Foster

P.S. By the way, I'm flattered that my pamohlet On the Confederate Flag was posted on the Dixie Outfitters web site. I hope all who read it was able to get something out of it.
