Publisher's Synopsis
""Reminiscences of the Civil War"" is a memoir written by John Brown Gordon, a Confederate general who fought in many of the major battles of the American Civil War. The book is a first-hand account of Gordon's experiences during the war, including his time as a soldier, his interactions with other commanders and soldiers, and his reflections on the causes and consequences of the conflict. Gordon's memoir offers a unique perspective on the war, as he was not only a soldier, but also a politician and a businessman. He served as a senator and governor of Georgia after the war, and his experiences in these roles give him a broader understanding of the political and economic factors that contributed to the conflict. Throughout the book, Gordon reflects on the moral and ethical implications of the war, particularly the issue of slavery. He describes his own evolution on this issue, from initially supporting slavery to eventually recognizing its inherent injustice. Overall, ""Reminiscences of the Civil War"" is a compelling and insightful account of one man's experiences during one of the most pivotal moments in American history. It offers a unique perspective on the war and its aftermath, and sheds light on the complex social, political, and moral issues that continue to shape the nation today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
