They are reprinted for circulation among the friends of General Ewell, especially those who were associated with him during his long service in the Armies of the United States and of the Confederacy. Many of these will be interested to know that the close of our great Civil War (which he survived something over six years) by no means ended his usefulness or extinguished his patriotism. Accepting frankly the results of the contest, he gave his energies and his influence to restoring the act of peace and building up a new South. With characteristic modesty he avoided publicity, but his quiet example was widely felt. His Tennessee farm soon became known as a model of judicious and progressive management, and one of the very earliest centers of the new agricultural method which are regenerating the South. Upon this farm, in January, 1872, he quietly met the end of an unselfish, noble, and useful life. General Ewell was scrupulously careful of the military reputation of his associates in arms, and doubly so when a subordinate was concerned. These feelings, combined with his genuine modesty, led him, on more than one occasion within my knowledge, even in his official reports, to claim less than his due share of honor, and do less than justice to his own merits – and on other occasions caused him to remain silent rather than impute blame to the dead comrade. Had the same moderation and self-restraint influenced General Beauregard, this publication would be unnecessary. – Campbell Brown. This pamphlet is in excellent condition.
