The Cotton Burners and a Louisiana Stand
A World correspondent recounts incidents of Beauregard’s cotton burners during the Civil War era. One farmer loses five bales to fire after pleading for mercy. another Louisianan defies the invaders with wit and threats, saving his cotton. A Newark orphan story and a Mississippi battlefield anecdote close the vivid relay.
