"Loathing Lincoln: An American Tradition From the Civil War to the Present"

[Wild Bill]

I agree with your analysis of Burlingame's feeling about the Confederacy but the dust jacket blurb is prefaced with "(as Barr puts it)" followed by the actual quote

I looked this up on Google Books and ran a computer search but could not find anything remotely like the comment, so you many be correct. That means as I read it we (readers) are misled that it is Barr's quote?

Thanks LTFan
