Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Adrift in Dixie, or a Yankee Officer Among the Rebels: With an Introduction
DO we forget that a small bonfire was lit on Boston Common thirty years ago, whose ascending ?ames traced on the sky, as with the finger of God, the words, Freedom for all men, black as well as white?
It was only a small bonfire; but it spread, spread wider and wider, and waxed brighter and brighter, until it illuminated the whole North, and showed three millions Of freemen their true inter ests, and made them say at the polls, Thus far shall slavery come, and no farther; and here shall its dark waves he stayed.
