A Soldier of the Civil War (1900) [Illustrated] [Kindle Edition]

Product Description
WE have received a handsomely-bound copy of a military biography which is the production of a Southern writer and bears the imprint of a Southern house. It revives familiar memories of the Southern struggle for independence and relates with scholarly exactness, in a clear and brilliant style, and with no touch or trace of partisan bitterness or exaggeration, the story of a Southern soldier’s life; the strange, eventful history of a Confederate leader who in all that he did and all that, lucklessly, he tried to do, seemed, like the Virginian hero, to be directed by an inexorable destiny and to become, in spite of instinct and volition, an unconscious helper in founding an Empire greater than the one he lost.
