Campbell Brown's Civil War With Ewell In The Army Of Northern Virginia [Paperback]

G. Campbell Browns eagerness to report all he sawfrom the quotidian to the bloodcurdlingmakes his writings among the finest to come out of the Civil War. Browns fascinating memoir details his service under General Richard S. Ewell during the campaigns of First Manassas, the Shenandoah Valley, the Seven Days, Second Manassas, and Gettysburg, and under Joseph E. Johnston at Vicksburg. His correspondence and memoranda form a suspenseful recounting of the Overland Campaign, the siege of Richmond, and a harrowing retreat that ended with the capture of Brown and Ewell at Saylers Creek. Such leaders as Ewell, Johnston, Robert E. Lee (whose daughter Brown tried to marry), Stonewall Jackson, and Jubal A. Early come to life in rich anecdotes and occasional critiques of their wartime actions.
