Originally published in 1875, George Cary Eggleston's memoir, which
proved immensely popular among readers throughout the country, is a
nostalgic, often amusing collection of essays based on the author's
Civil War experiences. Eggleston describes life in Virginia before
the war, offers glowing assessments of the men who filled the Rebel
ranks and the women who stood behind them, satirizes the
Confederacy's finances and its army's red tape, and recollects the
war's end. He also provides compelling portraits of his heroes,
lavishing praise on Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and
especially Jeb Stuart. By 1905, A Rebel's Recollections had run
through four editions, suggesting how well it reflected the mood of
the nation, which by then wanted to forget angry sectionalism and
glorify the soldiers of both sides in an idealized view of the war.
In this latest edition, Gaines M. Foster provides a new
introduction, deftly placing Eggleston's memoir in the context of
recent historiography.
