I posted in response to a Non-Seq [mis]quote from "Look Away" to Aurelius, at #559.

I provided several quotes from elsewhere in "Look Away" to challenge the attributed source, the New York Citizen. I showed the original source being alleged as Col. C.S. Armee [CSA] purportedly writing as Charles E.L. Stuart, which just happened to be the name of Bonnie Prince Charlie, once pretender to the throne of England, (House of Stuart).

I do not expect everyone to agree with all my conclusions. One may well refute some conclusion, and I recall x recently doing exactly that regarding Henry Halleck. I posted that he was correct, I was wrong, and explained why.

I believe the source relied upon by William C. Davis for his purported quote of Jefferson Davis is at best, unreliable.

I do not have the book by Rehnquist, and I seem to have only the one book by William Davis. I do not specifically recall, but it is possible I made reference to William C. Davis being quoted or cited in someone else's work.

The other William C. Davis book I have is The Cause Lost: Myths and Realities of the Confederacy. It gives an interesting and somewhat pro-southern view of the C.S.A., without glossing over some of the deficiencies.

Davis has written many books and articles, and many have the same theme; however, I am always a little dubious about the "prolific" authors.

The Cause Lost is now available in paperback (hardback might still be available from Military Book Club). Originally released in 1996.
