The Pride of the Confederate Artillery: The Washington Artillery in the Army of Tennessee Hardcover - 1997

by Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes

The compelling story of 400 men, their organization and service, their victories and defeats in over 40 battles. While the wartime experiences of the other four companies of the Washington Artillery are thoroughly documented, the exploits of the Fifth Company have been curiously neglected. This work illustrates the significance of the unit and its pivotal place in history. 21 halftones. 2 line drawings. 9 maps.


From the publisher

In The Pride of the Confederate Artillery, Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes, Jr., illustrates the significance of the unit and, for the first time, positions this pivotal group in its rightful place in history. The Fifth Company, Washington Artillery of New Orleans, fought with the Army of Tennessee from Shiloh to Chickamauga, from Perryville to Mobile, and from Atlanta to Jackson, Mississippi. Slocomb's Battery, as it was also known, won repeated praise from every commander of that army. Although it sustained high losses, the company was recognized for its bold, tenacious fighting and was considered the Army of Tennessee's finest close-combat battery. The Pride of the Confederate Artillery is the compelling story of four hundred men, their organization and service, their victories and defeats in over forty battles.

Baton Rouge and London: Louisiana State University Press, 1997. [1997] FIRST EDITION hardcover and dustjacket, 384 pages. Condition of hardcover: Fine, pristine. Dustjacket: Minor short tear, faint rubbing from shelving, else overall Near Fine. Free of the smell of old humidity stains or the smell of smoke from a cigarette or cigar smoker. Book purchased by collector, but never read. Actually, book is in gift-giving condition. Here is Civil War history at its best, a finely crafted book detailing the sweat and grit that made the Fifth Company, Washington Artillery (Army of Tennessee), an outstanding example of the heart and soul of the Southern war effort, according to author Wiley Sword. This is a wonderful, well-researched book, not just a dry, oh-hum story of troop movements and battles. Historical, collectible.
