Confederate military history; a library of Confederate States history (Volume V)

By Clement A. Evans and Clement Anselm Evans

Book Overview

War records are never neutral. They are unforgettable. Volume V of Clement Anselm Evans's Confederate military history gathers campaigns, commanders, and unit stories into a single civil war history volume built for searching as much as reading. Designed as a confederate reference library and military history compendium, this volume traces confederate army campaigns across the 1861-1865 southern states, following the shifting theatres and the battles of the confederacy with a documentarian's eye. Entries are arranged to support quick consultation, yet the cumulative effect is a sweeping portrait of command decisions, logistics, and morale. Read a section straight through and you feel the pressure of mobilisation, march, and retreat; dip in for dates and you find leads at once. Alongside narrative military overview, it brings together biographies of confederate generals and concise civil war regimental histories that let you move from high command to the ranks. For american civil war researchers, it is an indispensable map of names, places, and formations; for families and local historians, it serves as a practical civil war genealogy reference, pointing to the men who served under the banner of the confederate states of america. As a major example of lost cause era history, Evans's library also reveals how the post-war South chose to remember. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure, suited to focused study and to the shelf of any classic-history collector.
