By Major General Benjamin F. Butler. “Printed for Gratuitous Publication.” Philadelphia, 1863. Wraps, 32 pp. Covers exhibit chipping at the extremities, rear cover detached. Else VG.

This document is a speech Butler delivered in Philadelphia in the spring of 1863 following his somewhat ignominious relief as Military Governor of Louisiana in November 1862.. Scarcely a mea culpa, this speech is a robust defense of his conduct there, clouded with rumors and fairly substantive charges of trafficking in confiscated Confederate property, including cotton, to his personal benefit. To  Butler’s mind all charges were were bogus, and his treatment of rebels justified, inasmuch as “They are enemy aliens,” which was not quite the view of the Lincoln Administration.  Nor, even if they were, did it justify  his numerous high-handed shenanigans.

Provides an interesting look into the self-justifying mind of the ever controversial Benjamin F. Butler, as colorful a scoundrel as the war could provide. In protective sleeve.    [jp][ph:L]
