As one of the greatest generals to emerge from the War Between the
States, James Longstreet fought in nearly every major battle of the
Civil War . . . Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, the
Wilderness and many others, but it was his stand after the war and
his efforts to help heal the Union which further define him as a
man apart. As a result, controversy followed him for the rest of
his life. Not much is known about his family and even less about
his personal life . . . and much of what is known has been
inaccurately portrayed or deliberately biased by historians. Only
recently have scholars taken another, closer look at this great
warrior. They have exposed the deliberate lies of the Lee cult
designed to ruin his reputation. General James Longstreet: A Family
Portrait is a genealogy and attempts to define the man by taking a
closer look at his progenitors and prodigy, those who came before
him and those he left behind. It is a fascinating tapestry of
nobility, adventurers and everyday people. Masterly woven together
and easy to follow through the generations, it's a story well worth
reading.
