Synopsis
The Lost Colony of the Confederacy is the story of a grim, quixotic journey of twenty thousand Confederates to Brazil at the end of the American Civil War. Although it is not known how many Confederates migrated to South America-estimates range from eight thousand to forty thousand-their departure was fueled by bitterness over a lost cause and a distaste for an oppressive victor. Encouraged by Emperor Dom Pedro, most of these exiles settled in Brazil. Although at the time of the Civil War the exodus was widely known and discussed as an indicator of the resentment against the Northern invaders and strict governmental measures, The Lost Colony of the Confederacy is the first book to focus on this mass migration. Eugene Harter vividly describes the lives of these last Confederates who founded their own city and were called Os Confederados. They retained much of their Southernness and lent an American flavor to Brazilian culture. First published in 1985, this work details the background of the exodus and describes the life of the twentiethcentury descendants, who have a strong link both to Southern history and to modern Brazil. The fires have cooled, but it is useful to understand the intense feelings that sparked the migration to Brazil. Southern ways have melded into Brazilian, and both are linked by the unbreakable bonds of history, as shown in this revealing account. The late EUGENE C. HARTER retired from the U.S. Senior Foreign Service and lived in Chestertown, Maryland, until his death in 2010. He was the grandson and greatgrandson of Confederates who left Texas and Mississippi as a part of the great Confederate migration in the late 1860s. Harter is buried at Arlington National Cemetery., Although it is not known how many Confederates migrated to South America, their departure was fuelled by bitterness over a lost cause and a distaste for an oppressive victor.

The Lost Colony of the Confederacy by Eugene C. Harter
My wife is researching her ancestry. Years ago, her father told of some of his ancestors leaving to go to Brazil after the Civil War. I was researching on the web and ran across this book. It had listed names of folks who were looking for a better life after the war and did not want to live thru the reconstruction of the South. They decided to seek a better life elsewhere. I tried Half.com and found a used copy for a fair price. She enjoyed the book and found the names she was looking for. This is an interesting book for the story few people know about and it was helpful for her research.
