Sinossi
Excerpt from The Story of the Filibusters: To Which Is Added the Life of Colonel David Crockett
From such sources, as well as from the periodicals and official documents of the dav and from the lips or pens of living comrades in the more recent of those tragedies, have been gathered the facts told in the following pages. It has been no easy task to sift the grains of truth from the mountain of myth, prejudice, and fiction under which the actual deeds of the Filibusters long lay buried.
Thirty years ago it would have been well-nigh impossible, in the heated atmosphere of the slavery conflict, to view such a subject with philosophical impartiality. Today we may study the Filibuster dispassionately, for he belongs to extinct species. The speculator has supplanted him without perceptibly improving the morality of the world. Even the word filibuster, transformed to a verb, is degraded to the base uses of politics. It is time to write the history and the epitaph of the brave, lawless, generous anomaly on civilization.
