DEDICATION.

O you, my Adine, I love to dedicate the following pages, in which I have sought to give a correct portraiture of several classes of character at a deeply interesting epoch of our national history about which erroneous opinions have been long in circulation. To you, the gentle and beloved partner of my cares, my toils, and my happiness, for more than fifty years, this volume is especially offered by your devoted and loving husband,

CHARLES B. TAYLER.
