The war biography of Colonel Henry Kyd Douglas who joined the Confederate army and served under Stonewall Jackson until his death and was commander of the Brigade which fired the last shots at Appomatix. I found particularly interesting the experiences as a prisoner and the trial post Lincolns assination which is hardly covered by the history books. no reviews | add a review
Stonewall Jackson depended on him, General Lee complimented him, Union soldiers admired him, and women in Maryland, Virginia, and even Pennsylvania adored him. Henry Kyd Douglas devoted himself to the Southern cause, fighting its battles and enduring its defeats, and during and shortly after the Civil War, Douglas set down his experiences of great men and great days. In simple, resonant prose written wholly firsthand from notes and diaries made on the battlefield, he covered the full emotional spectrum of a soldier's life. I Rode with Stonewall is one of the most remarkable stories to come out of any war. No library descriptions found. |
