From the foreword:

“This volume is a votive offering at the shrine of our short lived nation’s memory, by the last of the "Old Guard" of that noble race of women, whose superb heroism was only limited by the supreme need of its action. It is written in the current which flowed from bleeding hearts, it is bound in love, it is launched in hope. May history perennially repeat its story, and preserve it as the immortal testimony that the women of the South were as true to their duty to "rise and build" as her men were to suffer and die. None can read the record of these pages, without being moved to admiration of the undaunted spirit that brought forth from the wine-press of poverty and self-denial, fruits of toil, that crystallized into glittering monuments of love, cleaving the skies of the Southland.

The material for this volume was gained from articles and letters sent us by Memorial Associations. The manuscripts for the most part have been inserted with as little alteration as possible. The matter sent us was related in such concise and modest terms that small opportunity was left for condensation. The knowledge obtained in such a necessarily desultory manner we have endeavored to arrange and edit impartially. The publication was delayed in order to include all associations that desired to appear in this record of a people who have won immortality through sorrow and defeat.”  [ld]
