Confederate military history; a library of Confederate States history, written by distinguished men of the south Volume XI

By Clement A. Evans

Book Overview

Written by those who fought it, this confederate military history volume opens a rare window into the war as the South remembered it. The past speaks plainly here. Edited by former Confederate general Clement Anselm Evans, Volume XI of Confederate Military History forms part of a sweeping american civil war military history, tracing 1861-1865 Confederate history through the movements of armies, the grind of campaigns, and the decisions of commanders in the field. From shifting battle-lines to high command, it examines Confederate States army campaigns with a close eye on battlefield strategies and leadership, offering a sustained southern perspective on the Civil War that complements Northern narratives and later interpretations. More than a narrative chronicle, this classic civil war reference work stands beside the official records civil war scholars consult, providing context, analysis and a distinctly nineteenth century American South voice. Ideal as a civil war researchers reference and for history students and scholars, it also rewards general readers who have discovered the conflict through authors such as Shelby Foote Civil War trilogy and now want to go closer to the sources. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. A civil-war-era heritage work equally at home in a working study or a curated personal library.
