Lloyd Tilghman was a man of distinguished family. His forefathers,
men of rank during colonial times, included Matthew Tilghman, who
helped frame Maryland's constitution, Chief Justice William
Tilghman of Pennsylvania and Lieutenant Colonel Tench C. Tilghman,
George Washington's military secretary. Trained at West Point,
Lloyd Tilghman originally resigned his commission in 1836 over to
moral concerns regarding the Indian war in Florida. However, with
the onset of the Mexican conflict - a veritable training ground for
the War Between the States - in 1846, Tilghman rejoined the army as
an aide-de-camp to General David E. Twiggs. When the ultimate
question was posed almost two decades later, Tilghman, a Southern
sympathizer with decidedly Northern ties, once again followed his
moral dictates and joined the Confederate cause. Relying heavily on
contemporary sources such as newspapers and periodicals, this
biography chronicles the life of Brigadier General Lloyd Tilghman,
a gallant Confederate commander and staunch defender of states'
rights. While covering Tilghman's entire career, including his
service during the Mexican War and his contributions to the
construction of the Panama railroad, the work concentrates
primarily on his Civil War years and 1863 death. The book details
the military movements in which he was involved with the stated
goal of informing the reader about the battles that took place
between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River and the
extraordinary generals who fought them. Extensive maps,
illustrations and contemporary photographs are included. The work
is also indexed.
