ier of the Civil War_ (1907); J. C. Schwab, _The Confederate States, A Financial and Industrial History_ (1901); E. D. Fite, _Social and Industrial Conditions in the North During the Civil War_ (1910), W. F. Fox, _Regimental Losses in the American Civil War_ (1889). Of special sectional value is W. D. Foulke's _The Life of Oliver P. Morton_ (1899). Henry Wilson's _The Rise and Fall of the Slave Power_ (1872-77); A. H. Stephens's _A Constitutional View of the Late War Between the States_ (1868-70) are typical of many others. Some of the best writers on the life and ideals of the old South are Mrs. Roger A. Pryor, _Reminiscences of Peace and War_ (1906), and _My Day_ (1911); Mrs. James Chesnut, _A Diary from Dixie_ (1905); Mrs. Clement C. Clay, _A Belle of the Sixties_ (1904); and Mrs. Myrta L. Avery, _Dixie after the War_ (1906). Mrs. Jefferson Davis's _A Memoir of Jefferson Davis_ (1890) is rather personal and profuse, but always more important than the more pretentious work of her husband, Jefferson Davis, in his _Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government_, already mentioned. A rare source book for the South is J. B. Jones's _A Rebel War Clerk's Diary_ (1866), and an even more important one for the North is Gideon Welles's _Diary_ (1911). Edward McPherson's _Political History of the United States During the Great Rebellion_ (1865); William McDonald's _Select Statutes and Other Documents Illustrative of the History of the United States, 1861-98_ (1903); J. D. Richardson's _Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Confederacy_ (1905); and _Appleton's Annual Cyclopedia and Register, 1862-1903_, give the most important official documents and full accounts of public events as they occurred.
