To the memory of Mrs. ELIZABETH THOMAS CURRY, whose remains rest under
the live oaks at Bainbridge, Ga., who cheerfully gave every available
member of her family to the Confederate Cause, and with her own hands
made their gray jackets, and who gave to the author her Christian
patriot daughter, who has been the companion, the joy and the crown of
his long and happy life, this volume is most affectionately
dedicated.
