Excerpt from A Memoir of the Life and Public Service of Joseph E. Johnston: Once the Quartermaster General of the Army of the United States, and a General in the Army of the Confederate States of America This sketch, written in a light-cavalry ga110p, does not pretend to give detail of his campaigns or his battles; it only seeks to give a general view of military operations, that can be taken in at a glance. The particular description of the movements of tr00ps, of the hour they started, of the route they took, of the minute of their arrival, is, I think, inexpressibly tedious and confusing, except to the technical and professional student. I have, therefore, only tried to present a picture, and a map, together with a photograph of the General, as we all knew him, and as we want posterity to appreciate him.

Excerpt from "Stonewall" Jackson, Late General of the Confederate States Army: A Biographical Sketch, and an Outline of His Virginian Campaigns Good and brave though he was, General Jackson did not stand alone in his shining qualities as a Confederate soldier. Much as we lament him, writes an admiring friend, and genuine Southerner, we have others left. Those of our own country men who are writing from the Confederate States, bear frequent witness of this, and tell us how the affection and confidence that culminated upon the head of Stonewall Jackson, instead of being dispersed at his death, have descended to General Lee, of whom Jackson himself spoke thus There is one General whom I would willingly follow blindfold, and whose most dubious strategy I would execute without question or hesitation; and that is, General Robert E. Lee. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Excerpt from General Kirby-Smith IN april, 1865, when the news of the surrender of General Lee reached a small town in New Jersey, a boy of ten years, who participated in the rejoicing with which the news was received, was prompted to ask if all the Confederate Generals had surrendered, and if the war were actually ended. He was informed that there were several general officers who had not surrendered, and among them was mentioned General kirby-smith. This name fixed itself upon the mind of the boy. Listening attentively to the discussions he heard among his elders at the time, he learned something more about the Confederate General, the oddity of whose name had the effect of making him a hero in the boy's mind. He learned that this Con federate General had been, since early in 1863, in su preme command of what was known as the Trans Mississippi Department of the Confederate Army; that the Department included Texas, Louisiana, Ar kansas and the Indian Territory; that he had organized a government there and had made that government.

Major-General J.E.B. Stuart (1833-1864) was one of the Confederacy’s greatest horsemen, soldiers, and heroes. As early as First Manassas (Bull Run) he contributed significantly to the Confederate victory, he subsequently displayed his daring and brilliance in the battles of Second Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Brandy Station—the most significant cavalry battle of the war, and Stuart’s finest moment. General Lee depended on Stuart for knowledge of the enemy for, as he said, Stuart never brought him a piece of false information. But Stuart was mortally wounded at Yellow Tavern in May, 1864. Not since the death of Stonewall Jackson had the South sustained so great a personal loss, his rollicking, infectious gaiety and hard fighting were sorely missed in the grim last days of Lee’s army. By all accounts, I Rode with Jeb Stuart is the most reliable and persuasive portrait of Stuart offered by a contemporary, and is indispensable for any thorough knowledge of the great Confederate cavalryman. “This book, which is both biography and memoir, is the richest source on the Civil War career of the plumed knight of the Army of Northern Virginia, Major-General James Ewell Brown Stuart. Though it has been out of print for generations, it is still read, and has fairly won its way onto the shelf of ‘classics’ of the war....It is by all odds the most reliable account of Stuart and his horsemen left by Stuart’s intimates....A reader who rides with Stuart through the Gettysburg campaign, until the Confederate infantry is safely south of the swollen Potomac, is not likely to forget the experience. In the light of McClellan’s narrative the ancient, wearying Confederate controversies over Gettysburg seem to lose a great deal of their importance.”—Burke Davis, Introduction, I Rode with Jeb Stuart
