Peer through history at Confederate Lieutenant General James
Longstreet, whose steady nature and dominating figure earned him
the nicknames "War Horse," "Bulldog," and "Bull of the Woods."
Years after the war, Longstreet's reputation swung between
Confederate hero and brutish scoundrel. A dutiful soldier with a
penchant for drink and gambling, Longstreet spoke little but
inspired many, and he continues to fascinate Civil war historians.
In his memoir From Manassas to Appomattox, Longstreet reveals his
inner musings and insights regarding the War between the States.
Ever the soldier, he skims over his personal life to focus on
battle strategies, war accounts, and opinions regarding other
officers who were as misunderstood as him. The principle
subordinate under General Robert E. Lee, Longstreet provides
several accounts of Lee's leadership and their strong partnership.
An invaluable firsthand account of life during the Civil War, From
Manassas to Appomattox not only illuminates the life and ambitions
of Lieutenant General James Longstreet, but it also offers an
in-depth view of army operations within the Confederacy. An
introduction and notes by prominent historian James I. Robertson
Jr. and a new foreword by Christian Keller offer insight into the
impact of Longstreet's career on American history.
