About This Item
Raleigh: Edwards and Broughton, 1893. First. Wraps. Protected by a cardboard clamshell folder. Light chipping to the leading edges of both wraps. Soiled front right corner of the front wrap. Rest VG./None. Very little found on this gifted Confederate general.
He was controversial and argumentative which cost him in his military career. "He was known as an aggressive leader, being severely strict, deeply religious and having dry, sarcastic humor. He was brother-in-law to Stonewall Jackson, a close friend to both James Longstreet and Joseph E. Johnston, but disagreements with both Robert E. Lee and Braxton Bragg cost him favor with Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Although his military ability was well respected, he was underutilized by the end of the Civil War on account of these political feuds." Wikipedia
