Steel Pocket
The only saved book . During the american civil War , the library of the university of alabama was burnt ?
The only saved book was The Kuran . Is it true or false ?
All this story in : " The Pocket History of The United States " by allen Nevins and Henry Steel Commager .
I guess the answer of Joe Doc , clears every thing . But I'll wait for more answers .
It is true:
When at last the courier returned, the general’s answer was disheartening. “My orders leave me no discretion,” wrote Croxton. “My orders are to destroy all public buildings.”
What happened next has become a part of the University of Alabama’s mythic fabric. It is said that Colonel Johnston, lamenting the destruction of such a fine library, decided to salvage one volume as a memento. Perhaps he sent one of his aides, or perhaps he sent Librarian Deloffre, or perhaps he went himself, to take one book from the library. The book saved was an English translation of The Koran: Commonly Called The Alcoran Of Mohammed, published in Philadelphia in 1853.
