Sobre este artículo
Thick octavo, publisher's original deluxe brown sheepskin with Morocco spine label, marbled endpapers and edges. Octavo. [1], 602 pages, [6] pages of publisher advertisements, [1]. Frontispiece steel engraving of Johnston. Illustrated with steel engravings and a folding map. Professionally and sympathetically rebacked with the original spine by the Heritage Bindery. Internal contents clean with occasional light foxing. A very good copy of a scarce issue of this work. Often criticized for a perceived lack of aggressiveness, J.E. Johnston is still seen as one of most controversial Confederate military figures. He assumed command immediately following secession and continued in one capacity or another until the very end, when he surrendered to Sherman in April 1865. It was Johnston who recommended a fighting withdrawal against Sherman during his infamous March to the Sea. The Confederacy's refusal to implement this strategy led to John Bell Hood's disastrous defeat at Atlanta. Eicher 257. In Tall Cotton 101. Howes J 167; Nevins II page 68 "One of the earliest Confederate Reminiscences; strongly partisan, anti-Davis, and Defensive in tone. Very uncommon in the deluxe publisher's sheepskin.
