First edition. An anti-Grant, anti-Mahone pamphlet, issued as campaign literature during the latter's run for the U.S. Senate from Virginia in 1880, predicting a civil war worse than that of 1861-1865 and an odd political triumvirate of Grant, Mahone, and former Confederate guerilla John S. Mosby. "Miserable South!...despised by all the world, and for no crime but that you Christianized a race of savages thrust upon you by mercantile greed." Uncommon; OCLC locates 8 copies. BAL 572.
