Beauregard, the great Creole

My reason for writing this book is a very simple one. I wanted, as far as I was able, to capture the feeling of a time and the spirit of a man...a man I believe to have been one of the very considerable figures of the Civil War. I claim for him no enormous greatness. He had, however, his moments of real genius and he has not been given his just due. -- Prologue
