The Valley of ShadowsHardcover, 1 June 1970

Excerpt from The Valley of Shadows: Recollections of the Lincoln Country 1858-1863
I have recorded my impressions of the passing of the old democracy and the old social system in the United States, and, curiously enough, I witnessed again in 1869-70, while residing in Paris, the passing of another social order - that of Napoleon and the Empire, the recollections of which I shall leave for a future volume.
