The Civil War of a noted U. S. GeneralAlthough Cox is well known as
a chronicler of the Civil War-through books on campaigns, battles
and principal characters-this book is entirely different. This is
the story of the Civil War as it touched his own life. It is, as he
says, 'a narrative by one who was an active participant from its
beginning to its end and in which he has deliberately avoided
repetition of the contents of his other works'. This first volume
begins with Cox's appointment as Brigadier-General of Volunteers
commanding Ohioan and Kentuckian troops, and then describes his
subsequent experiences in West Virginia, the Kanawha Valley and the
battles leading to Antietam and beyond. Cox manages to successfully
combine a historian's overview of the whole war with historic
events that unfolded in his presence, to create an essential Civil
War memoir.
