Edward Alfred Pollard (February 27, 1832 – December 17, 1872) was a Virginian journalist and author. Pollard was a Confederate sympathizer during the American Civil War and wrote several books on the causes and events of the conflict. During the American Civil War, he was one of the principal editors of the Richmond Examiner (along with Robert William Hughes), which supported the Confederate States of America, but was hostile to President Jefferson Davis. Pollard is most famous for authoring The Lost Cause in 1866, followed up by The Lost Cause Regained in 1868. These two works, written after the war, gave two different descriptions of the causes of the war and the nature of southern society. The earlier work saw the war as being between two opposing ways of organizing society and saw slavery as a key part of the nobility of the South and a key basis of the difference between the societies.

Ishbel Ross (December 15, 1895 – September 21, 1975) was a Scottish-born American reporter, novelist, and nonfiction writer. In a writing career spanning six decades, Ross wrote numerous biographies of prominent women, with her best-known work being the first substantial history of women journalists. In the 1930s, Ross turned to writing novels. She left the newspaper the following year to concentrate on novel writing, publishing four more during her lifetime. At the instigation of the New-York Tribune's city editor, Stanley Walker, she also began writing nonfiction. Her first book, Ladies of the Press (1936), was the first formal history of women in journalism, examining the various roles women have played in print journalism, with a focus on notable journalists like Marguerite Martyn, Margaret Fuller, Nellie Bly, and Dorothy Dix. Ross identified more than 300 women editors and publishers working at papers throughout the United States. It is still considered "the classic work among the general histories" of the subject. Ross wrote some twenty nonfiction books, many of which were lives of famous women, ranging from the wives of American presidents to physician Elizabeth Blackwell, American Red Cross founder Clara Barton, and Confederate spy Rose O'Neal Greenhow. Her other books addressed more general topics such as education for the blind and American taste. Her books were considered well-researched. More

Signed and dated by the author on the title page. Swing Low, Sweet Harriet by Rhonda Rucker is fiction based on historical fact. This Civil War-era novel was a Crystal Kite Award finalist. Ben, a 13-year-old slave, figures he’s too young to be a spy for the Union Army. That’s before he overhears Rebel soldiers talk about planting something in the Combahee River. Later, he finds a strange, dark object floating near the riverbank. During the next few weeks, he finds more. Then Moses, a mysterious runaway slave woman, sneaks on the plantation and shows up at Sunday night meeting. She claims to work for the Union and says the Yankee soldiers will be bringing their gunboats to rescue slaves. But there’s one problem: the Rebels are planting torpedoes in the river – mines that could blow up the boats. She’s trying to find the location of the torpedoes. During one visit, Moses has a seizure. The preacher promptly declares her a conjure woman and not to be trusted. Ben’s not sure if he should tell Moses about the objects in the river. If he’s discovered passing information to the enemy, he could be whipped – or even sold. But if he doesn’t tell, he could be throwing away an opportunity for freedom – not only for himself, but also his family and friends. Swing Low, Sweet Harriet is a historical novel based on Harriet Tubman’s work as a spy and scout during the Civil War when she helped lead African American soldiers on the Combahee River raid in South Carolina.
