James Longstreet: Lee's War Horse

Hardcover. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. 423 p. Index. From Wikipedia: "James Longstreet (January 8, 1821 January 2, 1904) was one of the foremost Confederate generals of the American Civil War and the principal subordinate to General Robert E. Lee, who called him his "Old War Horse." Longstreet's talents made significant contributions to the Confederate victories at Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, and Chickamauga, in both offensive and defensive roles. He also performed strongly during the Seven Days Battles, the Battle of Antietam, and until he was seriously wounded, at the Battle of the Wilderness. His most controversial service was at the Battle of Gettysburg, where he disagreed with General Lee and reluctantly supervised the disastrous assault known as Pickett's Charge. He enjoyed a successful post-war career as a diplomat, civil servant, and administrator. His reputation in the South further suffered when he led African-American militia against the anti-Reconstruction White League at the Battle of Liberty Place in 1874." Very good in good dust jacket.
