註釋Pierce M. B. Young: The Warwick of the South, published in 1964, is an account of a major figure in Reconstruction-era Georgia. The youngest major general in the Confederate Army, he was the first Georgian to be allowed to take a seat in Congress after the Civil War. As a Congressman, Young's main concern was rebuilding life in the South along national rather than sectional lines. Young was a member of the diplomatic corps under Grover Cleveland, where he arranged the Central American exhibit at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta in 1895. His friendships with such diverse personalities as Robert E. Lee, George Custer, Jefferson Davis, and Henry W. Grady are notable.
