Rebellion: Personal reminiscences of Colonel Le Grand B. Cannon

By Le Grand B. Cannon

Colonel Cannon's memoir of his experiences in the American Civil War was never meant for a public audience. They were written for family and friends but we're very lucky they still exist. They are a valuable contribution to the canon of Civil War literature by an educated and thoughtful man, who served even though he was wealthy and in mid life.He also relates other anecdotes of his time with Lincoln, stories of working with Edwin Stanton, dinner with Secretary of State William Seward, and meetings with other wartime notables. His sections on the introduction of United States Colored Troops is also important. He was witness to the clash of the Monitor and Merrimack.Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
