Excerpt from War-Time Sketches: Historical and Otherwise

Professor Dimitry came of a family of educators and literary folk and -was himself an historian of considerable merit, notable among his works being a School History and Geography of Louisiana and The Confederate Military. History of Louisiana. In this connection we can not refrain from quoting his peerless epitaph to 'albert Sidney Johnston, engraved in the tomb of the Army of Tennessee, Metairie Cemetery, New Orleans. In its epigrammatic terseness of phrase, beauty of diction and poetic depth of feeling it deserves to rank as a classic.
