RE: Daredevils Of the Confederate Army
Roger, the author never mentions the title of the book, but this is what he does say -
"The Reverend Cameron, who later wrote a book on "The Confederate Secret Service", relates that on his return from Richmond, while crossing the Potomac River, his skiff overturned by a shot from a Union battery on the western shore, but he finally succeeded in reaching the eastern bank and arrived safely among friends in his native state of Maryland." (page 113) There were no footnotes, so I don't know if he 'relates' his story to the Canadian newspapers at the time, trial testimony records, or his book we can't locate. That is all he mentions about Cameron's book. I'm not the greatest internet searcher, but I did try Internet Archive, Library of Congress, Google, and Amazon Books. No luck. Kinchen's book is available on Internet Archives, but you have to log in and can borrow it for 14 days. I have never tried to do that, and am not familiar with that process. https://archive.org/details/daredevilsof...+a+kinchen So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
