Among the finer soldier-diarists of the Civil War, John Edward
Dooley first came to the attention of readers when an edition of
his wartime journal, edited by Joseph Durkin, was published in
1945. That book, John Dooley, Confederate Soldier, became a widely
used resource for historians, who frequently tapped Dooley's vivid
accounts of Second Bull Run, Antietam, and Gettysburg, where he was
wounded during Pickett's Charge and subsequently captured. As it
happens, the 1945 edition is actually a much-truncated version of
Dooley's original journal that fails to capture the full scope of
his wartime experience- the oscillating rhythm of life on the
campaign trail, in camp, in Union prisons, and on parole. Nor does
it recognize how Dooley, the son of a successful Irish-born
Richmond businessman, used his reminiscences as a testament to the
Lost Cause. John Dooley's Civil War gives us, for the first time, a
comprehensive version of Dooley's ""war notes,"" which editor
Robert Emmett Curran has reassembled from seven different
manuscripts and meticulously annotated. The notes were created as
diaries that recorded Dooley's service as an officer in the famed
First Virginia Regiment along with his twenty months as a prisoner
of war. After the war, they were expanded and recast years later as
Dooley, then studying for the Catholic priesthood, reflected on the
war and its aftermath. As Curran points out, Dooley's reworking of
his writings was shaped in large part by his ethnic heritage and
the connections he drew between the aspirations of the Irish and
those of the white South. In addition to the war notes, the book
includes a prewar essay that Dooley wrote in defense of secession
and an extended poem he penned in 1870 on what he perceived as the
evils of Reconstruction. The result is a remarkable picture not
only of how one articulate southerner endured the hardships of war
and imprisonment, but also of how he positioned his own experience
within the tragic myth of valor, sacrifice, and crushed dreams of
independence that former Confederates fashioned in the postwar era.
