Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Confederate States Almanac, and Repository of Useful Knowledge, for 1862
The first volume of the Confederate States Almanac is introduced to the people of the South. The work is designed to be published yearly. The leading object of the publication is to make it the repository of the largest possible amount of useful information; embracing annual statistics from all States in the Confederacy, showing our progress in population, manufactures, commerce, wealth, and all the elements of prosperity. We intend to be able to make the work from year to year a complete manual of reference and general information.
