A fire-eater remembers : the Confederate memoirs Robert Barnwell Rhett

Some people called Robert Barnwell Rhett ""the Father of Secession"". This book illuminates Rhett's role in secession's time and passage. It tells of Rhett's interest in secession doctrine as early as 1828 and his outspoken support of disunion fully a quarter-century before 1861.
