James Longstreet stood with Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson in
the great triumvirate of the Army of Northern Virginia. He fought
from First Manassas through Appomattox and served as Lee's senior
subordinate for most of that time. In this classic work, first
published by UNC Press in 1936, H. J. Eckenrode and Bryan Conrad
follow Longstreet from his leading role in the military history of
the Confederacy through his controversial postwar career and
eventual status as an outcast in Southern society. Though they
acknowledge his considerable gifts as a corps commander and absolve
him of guilt for the Gettysburg debacle, the authors also call
attention to the consequences of Longstreet's unbridled ambition,
extreme self-confidence, and stubbornness.
