As Longstreet 's first wife was Maria Louisa Garland and the author's last name is Garland also, I wonder if he was a nephew or otherwise related to James Longstreet?
The article dates from May 1897. While these words are just heartbreaking, it's good to know that James Longstreet's days of loneliness did not last very long afterwards.
In September 1897 he married his second wife Helen Dortch Longstreet and one can only imagine how much sunshine she must have brought into his life!
Now he was a deaf, hesitant old man, sorrowful of aspect, poor, dim-eyed, neglected, and alone.
