Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Sketches: From Cedar Mountain to Bull Run The subject matter of the following chapters appeared in the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser in a series of letters during the past winter, over the signature of L.The writer supplied his friends (as he thought) most bountifully with the papers containing said letters, but all the copies that he has been able to beg, borrow or buy have not been sufficient to go round, hence he has felt impelled to put the articles in a new form, with sundry corrections, and now hopes that there will be enough for all. Much difficulty has been experienced in keeping run of the army movements described, for lack of a map. This want we have remedied, and have prepared a map that will aid the lay reader at least in comprehending the apparent mix-up of army operations. Several parties have said, You are an apologist for General Fitz John Porter. If so, it is incidentally only, as I had not read the full text of General Porters defense until after these letters appeared in print. If I had, it is very possible that the war sketches in which he appears would have been much more amplified. He is a gentleman with whom I have no acquaintance, have never met, have no recollection of having even seen. If a simple statement of facts, of occurrences on the field of Manass, as, is an apology, certainly he is entitled to that much from friend, foe or a stranger. The President of the United States has within a few months past, upon the presentation of evidence not available at the time of the court-martial in January, 1863, remitted the harsher portion of the sentence it imposed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Stoddert Ewell is best known as the Confederate General selected by Robert E. Lee to replace "Stonewall" Jackson as chief of the Second Corps in the Army of Northern Virginia. Ewell is also remembered as the general who failed to drive Federal troops from the high ground of Cemetery Hill and Culp's Hill during the Battle of Gettysburg. Many historians believe that Ewell's inaction cost the Confederates a victory in this seminal battle and, ultimately, cost the Civil War. During his long military career, Ewell was never an aggressive warrior. He graduated from West Point and served in the Indian wars in Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, and Arizona. In 1861 he resigned his commission in the U.S. Army and rushed to the Confederate standard. Ewell saw action at First Manassas and took up divisional command under Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign and in the Seven Days' Battles around Richmond. A crippling wound and a leg amputation soon compounded the persistent manic-depressive disorder that had hindered his ability to make difficult decisions on the battlefield. When Lee reorganized the Army of Northern Virginia in May of 1863, Ewell was promoted to lieutenant general. At the same time he married a widowed first cousin who came to dominate his life—often to the disgust of his subordinate officers—and he became heavily influenced by the wave of religious fervor that was then sweeping through the Confederate Army. In Confederate General R.S. Ewell, Paul D. Casdorph offers a fresh portrait of a major—but deeply flawed—figure in the Confederate war effort, examining the pattern of hesitancy and indecisiveness that characterized Ewell's entire military career. This definitive biography probes the crucial question of why Lee selected such an obviously inconsistent and unreliable commander to lead one-third of his army on the eve of the Gettysburg Campaign. Casdorph describes Ewell's intriguing life and career with penetrating insights into his loyalty to the Confederate cause and the Virginia ties that kept him in Lee's favor for much of the war. Complete with riveting descriptions of key battles, Ewell's biography is essential reading for Civil War historians.

Lee’s triumph over Union leader John Pope in the summer of 1862. . . . Lee’s strategic skills, and the capabilities of his principal subordinates James Longstreet and Stonewall Jackson, brought the Confederates onto the field of Second Manassas at the right places and times against a Union army that knew how to fight, but not yet how to win.”—Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There never was such a campaign, not even by Napoleon wrote Confederate General Pender of the Second Manassas campaign in which the gray-bearded Virginian, Robert E Lee, came as close as he ever would to exterminating his Northern enemies. In so doing, Lee established himself as the South's pre-eminent military commander and the Army of Northern Virginia as it's most powerful weapon. The fighting in northern Virginia left Union General John Pope's career in tatters and proved the South was a power to be reckoned with. This book's powerful account demonstrates that during that fateful summer of 1862 Lee's soldiers were fighting for anything but a lost cause.
