In this sophisticated quantitative study, Joseph T. Glatthaar
provides a comprehensive narrative and statistical analysis of many
key aspects of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.
Serving as a companion to Glatthaar's General Lee's Army: From
Victory to Collapse, this book presents Glatthaar's supporting data
and major conclusions in extensive and extraordinary detail. While
gathering research materials for General Lee's Army, Glatthaar
compiled quantitative data on the background and service of 600
randomly selected soldiers--150 artillerists, 150 cavalrymen, and
300 infantrymen--affording him fascinating insight into the prewar
and wartime experience of Lee's troops. Soldiering in the Army of
Northern Virginia presents the full details of this fresh,
important primary research in a way that is useful to scholars and
students and appeals to anyone with a serious interest in the Civil
War. While confirming much of what is believed about the army,
Glatthaar's evidence challenges some conventional thinking in
significant ways, such as showing that nearly half of all Lee's
soldiers lived in slaveholding households (a number higher than
previously thought), and provides a broader and fuller portrait of
the men who served under General Lee.
