The Meanest and 'Damnest' Job

Being the Civil War Exploits and Civilian Accomplishments of Colonel Edmund Winchester Rucker During and After the War

Beschreibung

Most Civil War histories focus on the performance of top-level generals. However, it was the individual officers below them who actually led the troops to enact the orders. One such officer was Edmund Winchester Rucker. This first biography of Rucker examines the military and business accomplishments of this outstanding leader.
