This memoir constitutes one of the best first-person narratives of
the Civil War experience. It is written with power, candour,
objectivity and elegance. The story that John Sergeant Wise
recounts is a colourful, almost novelistic account of a young
Confederate soldier's life and views. END OF AN ERA is a valuable
archive of sociological and anthropological information about a
bygone era. Wise affectionately recounts the cultural and economic
diversity of his social landscape. He describes many of the small
towns, villages, and territories of early Virginia, recalling the
demographic, economic, religious, and political aspects that made
them notable. In the book's detailed prose, the various strands
that made up the fabric of antebellum Southern culture are captured
beautifully. He also describes the privations and horrors of war,
and the failings of Southern leaders, with unflinching honesty. He
does not glorify the Southern army or its government, nor does he
try to justify his occasionally ungentlemanly conduct and speech.
The full range of his emotions is exhibited in this memoir,
reactions he had to the complex changes that occurred within his
own circle, as well as in larger Southern society.
