General James Longstreet, C.S.A. ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN 1896, THIS A 1960 REPRINT BY INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS Lieutenant-General James Longstreet was a solid, dependable fighter in numerous campaigns in both the Eastern and Western theaters of the Civil War. Devoted to Robert E. Lee, who called him his "Old War Horse", Longstreet commanded the First Corps of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia with distinction. Growing up in Georgia and Alabama, graduating from West Point, and serving in the U.S. Army in the war with Mexico under Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott, Longstreet resigned his commission and joined the Confederate army when the southern states seceded. Few officers in the war commanded so many men and few were engaged in as many campaigns and battles. His memoir is filled with important first-hand observances on the war and its participants. Written while he was under attack for political reasons after Lee had died, they reflect some combativeness to counter accusations against him by others years after the fact. Their tremendous historical interest lies not only in his personal account of the progress of the Civil War, and in the many fascinating anecdotes about Lee and his officers, but in the insight they afford into the mind and character of one of the bravest and most loyal of southern generals.
