Mississippi Rifles
A Muster Listing of All Known Mississippi Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Who Served in the Mexican War
1846-1848

"Sir, it is true that republics have often been cradled in war, but more often they have met with a grave in that cradle. Peace is the interest, the policy, the nature of a popular Government. War may bring benefits to a few, but privation and loss are the lot of the many. An appeal to arms should be the last resort, and only by national rights or national honor can it be justified."
Jefferson Davis - February 6, 1846

An Andersonville Prisoner's Defense of Captain Henry Wirz
(compiled by James West Thompson)

Between the covers of this book your eyes will be opened to a great miscarriage of military justice by the National Government in the wake of a horrible war. It undoubtedly was not the first such miscarriage, nor, regretfully, will it prove to be the last. But it happened nevertheless and as the commentator has put it, after reading this you will "know the rest of the story!"
H. Grady Howell, Jr. - Historian and Friend of the Compiler
