One of the Confederacy's most loyal adherents and articulate
advocates was Lieutenant Grant James Longstreet's aide-de-camp,
Thomas Jewett Goree. Present at Longstreet's headquarters and party
to the counsels of Robert E. Lee and his lieutenants, Goree wrote
incisively on matters of strategy and politics and drew revealing
portraits of Longstreet, Jefferson Davis, P.G.T. Beauregard, John
Bell Hood, J.E.B. Stuart, and others of Lee's inner circle. His
letters are some of the richest and most perceptive from the Civil
War period. Thomas Cutrer has collected all of Goree's wartime
correspondence to his family, as well as his travel diary from
June-August 1865. With its wide scope and rich detail, Longstreet's
Aide represents an invaluable addition to the Civil War letter
collections published in recent years. While Goree's letters will
fascinate Civil War buffs, they also provide a unique opportunity
for scholars of social and military history to witness from inside
the workings of both an extended Southern family and the forces of
the Confederacy.
