COULTER: TRAVELS IN THE CONFEDERATE STATES, 359: \"Most of this book is concerned with factual discussion of the South;
only the last three of the sixteen chapters deal with the author\'s personal experiences. The Reverend Ozanne was an Englishman who became
a resident of the South in 1841 as an Episcopal rector on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. In 1862 he decided to remove from this exposed region and
settle for a time in the interior of the state, but after a few weeks at Terry, near Jackson, he determined to return to England. He took the New Orleans,
Jackson, and Great Northern Railroad to a point near Lake Pontchartrain where the railway had been destroyed, crossed the lake on a leaky boat,
continued on to New Orleans and waited there under the Butler regime for an opportunity to go by sea to New York. In September he sailed for England.
This narrative gives an interesting picture of conditions in that part of the Confederacy which the author visited and especially of New Orleans under Butler.\"
