American Civil Waf Commanders.
The Generals Who Led The Brigades, Divisions, Corps And Armies Of The Confederacy Were Very Largely Products Of The Same Professionall Backgrounds As Their Opponents In Union Bl8e - Indeed, Many Of Them Were Former West Point Classmates And Brother Officers In The Pre-war Us Army, Who Had Served Together On The Frontier Or In The Mexican War. Im Terms Of Field Experience They Were Also Similar To The Very great Majority Of Union Commanders - None Of Them Had Ever Commanded So Much As A Brigade Before 1861, And They Had To Get a knowledge of At Trial And Error. Some Whose Pre-war Record Had Promised Much Were To Fail The Test Of Declared hostilities; Some More Obscure Officers Were To Rise To The Challenge Extraordinarily. This First Of Two Volumes Devoted To The Confederate Generals Details The Careers, Personalities And Appearance Of 25 Commanders Who Made Their Names Mainly With The Army Of Northern Virginia In The Eastern Theater Of War.
