Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sara Agnes Rice Pryor (1830 - 1912) was a writer who published two memoirs in the early twentieth century of the mesmerizing times in which she lived. The first few chapters contain Mrs. Pryor's recall of the years she spent in Washington society before the "Civil War." Her husband, Roger Atkinson Pryor (1828-1919) was an able lawyer who was appointed by President Franklin Pierce as a special United States Minister to Greece in 1854. In 1859, after Virginia Congressman William O. Goode died in office, Roger Pryor won his vacant seat in the United States Congress. Of these years, Mrs. Pryor describes the prominent politicians (and their wives) that she met in addition to many well-known foreign dignitaries. She remembers the Southern power presence of those halcyon days: "When the Marine band would play on the veranda of the White House," and the lavish White House parties with "ices in every form from a pair of turtle doves to a pillared temple." Students of fashion history and especially re-enactors will benefit from her careful descriptions of the attire of era, "Our white gloves were short and were finished at the wrist with a fall of lace three or four inches wide, and a band of ribbon and rosette," etc. Of the war privations she writes, "Pins became scarce. People walked about with downcast eyes; they were looking for pins! Thorns were gathered and dried to use as pins. Dentists' gold soon disappeared. The generation succeeding the war period had not good teeth. Anesthetics -- morphine, chloroform, opium--were contraband of war. This was our great grief. Our soldier boys, who had done nothing to bring the war upon the country, must suffer every pang that followed the disasters of battle." Mrs. Pryor's detailed memoirs of the war have been important sources for historians doing research on southern society during and after the Civil War. Incidentally, the author, Sara Agnes Rice Pryor, was one of the founders of the National Daughters of the Revolution.

Book excerpt: Few generals of the Confederate States Army had such a glittering career as John Brown Gordon, although without any formal military training he rose from captain of a company of Georgia mountineers to the rank of Major-General. He was described by the Robert E. Lee as one of his finest commanders and that his actions were “characterized by splendid audacity”. He was distinguished in many the early battles of the Army of North Viginia; First Bull Run, Malvern Hill; holding the vital “Bloody Lane” at Antietam he was shot five times as he encouraged his men. After a period of recuperation he plunged back into the fray and won further laurels at battles at Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House and the final surrender at Appomattox. His memoirs are justly famous and are an acclaimed classic. “For many years I have been urged to place on record my reminiscences of the war between the States. In undertaking the task now, it is not my purpose to attempt a comprehensive description of that great struggle, nor an elaborate analysis of the momentous interests and issues involved. The time may not have arrived for a full and fair history of that most interesting period in the Republic’s life. The man capable of writing it with entire justice to both sides is perhaps yet unborn. ... I have also recorded in this volume a large number of those characteristic and thrilling incidents which illustrate a unique and hitherto unwritten phase of the war, the story of which should not be lost, because it is luminous with the noblest lessons. Many of these incidents came under my own observation”--Introduction.

Excerpt: ... him when he landed on October 31 at Cape Town. Nor do I think that the wisdom of his decision to postpone the advance from Cape Colony upon Bloemfontein until he had cleared Natal and released White's 13,000 men at Ladysmith can be seriously impugned. It was in Natal that the Boers were making their chief effort, and all the best of the Transvaal Boers were there. It was nothing to do with Buller that the Boers had the initiative. It was the inevitable result of policy, time, and distance. Sir Alfred Milner had declared that the loyal colony Natal would be defended by the whole strength of the Empire, and had Buller not made his chief effort in Natal, Ladysmith would have fallen and Natal had been overrun before any such advance on Bloemfontein as was practicable to us at that time, with such troops as we had, would necessarily or even probably have diverted the Transvaalers from their prey. It is not reasonable to suppose that the Army Corps could have effected in a few weeks a work that took 300,000 British troops nearly three years to carry out. Judging after the event, with all the facts, figures, and maps at our disposal, we see clearly enough that our home authorities had hopelessly miscalculated the strength and the nature of force to be employed, and had not the vaguest conception of the problem before us, whether with regard to our rebels, or the Boers, or geography. I need only recall, as a small example, the railway staff which we took with us on the Dunnottar Castle to organise railways in a region as large as Central Europe. This staff consisted of Girouard, one batman, one horse, and one groom. Girouard said on landing that he would spare the Government the expense of the horse and the groom, but would require a little...
