I need to check a couple of secondary sources to see if they are being misrepresented. If they are near you, and you can copy the identified pages for me, and whatever endnotes go with those pages, it would be a great help for California gun owners. Click the link to see which libraries near you have it.
Mark A. Graber, Punish Treason, Reward Loyalty: The Forgotten Goals of Constitutional Reform after the Civil War (Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 2023), 111-30.
Jonathan Truman Dorris, Pardon and Amnesty under Lincoln and Johnson: The Restoration of the Confederates to Their Rights and Privileges, 1861-1898 (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1953), 319-25.
Someone got me Dorris' pages and I ordered Graber's book.
The nearest copy of Punish Treason, Reward Loyalty... is in Cleveland.
ReplyDeleteHowever, there's a copy of Pardon and Amnesty under Lincoln and Johnson... at Northwestern University, about a mile away. I might get away for an hour to get it for you.
