It was written as an anti-Jackson and Van Buren document in the guise of fiction and published surreptitiously in Washington in 1836, with a fictitious imprint date of 1856. It describes a war centering in the southwestern mountains of Virginia in which the South is victorious. It was republished in New York as anti-Confederate propaganda and then in Richmond in 1862 as pro-Confederate propaganda." Good. Item #27836
