Gordon Author: Pipkin, Rev. J.J. Place: St. Louis Publisher: Date: 1902 Description: First Edition. Marbled boards, with s pine replaced by brown library tape. Illustrated. 491pp. No racist diatribe, though written by a white Alabama Baptist clergyman, and prefaced by one of the most admired surviving Confederate heroes, thought to have once headed the Ku Klux Klan in Georgia.
