Kretschmer, www.copyrighthistory.org Record Images Record-ID: us_1863a Full title Memorial to the Congress of the Confederate States Full title original language N/A Abstract A petition by William J. Hardee to the Confederate Sates of America Congress. Before the Civil War Hardee entered a contract for publishing his book "Rifle and Infantry Tactics" commissioned by the U.S. Army. While Hardee registered a confederate copyright for his revised edition the original book was never registered in the U.S. This resulted in republication of the original by southern publishers. In response and after losing a lawsuit on this matter, Hardee petitioned the Confederate Congress for a private legislation to protect in his book. Bibliography Bryan, Thomas. "General William J.
