A Confederate infantry officer's war
This is a personal account of the Civil War written by a young
confederate officer, a native of Virginia, who fought in many
battles of the conflict. We accompany Dunaway as he joins the ranks
of the 47th Virginia Volunteers and journey with him on campaign to
Gaines' Mill, Cedar Run, Second Manassas, Fredericksburg,
Chancellorsville and eventually to the apocalyptic battle at
Gettysburg. Dunaway was captured shortly afterwards and spent some
time in Johnson's Island Prison. The author explains his campaign
experiences in detail and his story also includes many personal
anecdotes making it an invaluable source work of the Confederate
perspective. This book is available in soft cover and hard cover
with dust jacket, head and tail bands and gold foil spine
lettering, making it ideal for collectors.

Wayland Fuller Dunaway was a writer and minister. He was Captain of
Co. I, 40th Va. Regt Army of Northern Virginia and spent time in a
Union prison during the Civil War. This narrative covers the time
he spent with his soldiers and also gives historical accounts of
the war. An excerpt reads, "While I believed in the right of
secession I deprecated the exercise of that right, because I loved
the Union and the flag under which my ancestors had enjoyed the
blessings of civil and religious liberty. I did not think that
Lincoln's election was a sufficient cause for dissolving the Union,
for he had announced no evil designs concerning Southern
institutions; and, even if he had, he was powerless to put them
into execution. He could have done nothing without the consent of
Congress, and his party was in a minority both in the Senate and in
the House of Representatives."
