Indigo A Soldier's General: The Civil War Letters of Major General Lafayette McLaws | Erin Mills Town Centre
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Indigo
During his service in the Confederate army, Major General Lafayette McLaws (1821–1897) served under and alongside such famous officers as Robert E. Lee, Joseph E. Johnston, James Longstreet, and John B. Hood. He played a significant role in some of the most crucial battles of the Civil War, including Harpers Ferry, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg. Despite this, no biography of McLaws or history of his division has ever been published.
A Soldier’s General gathers ninety-five letters written by McLaws to his family between 1858 and 1865, making these valuable resources available to a wide audience for the first time. The letters, painstakingly transcribed from McLaws’s notoriously poor handwriting, contain a wealth of opinion and information about life and morale in the Confederate army, Civil War–era politics, the Southern press, and the impact of war on the Confederate home front. Among the fascinating threads the letters trace is the story of McLaws’s fractured relationship with childhood friend Longstreet, who had McLaws relieved of command in 1863.
John Oeffinger’s extensive introduction sketches McLaws’s life from his beginnings in Augusta, Georgia, through his early experiences in the U.S. Army, his marriage, his Civil War exploits, and his postwar years.
