Joe A. Mobley

Confederate Generals of North Carolina (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A look at the generals who were either born in the state or directly commanded its troops, including Braxton Bragg, Louis Addison Armistead, and others. Confederate Generals of North Carolina provides a brief but compelling biography of each of the forty-six Confederate Generals who served from North Carolina during the Civil War. Each biography includes, in addition to the war service, a summary of a general's prewar and postwar careers. Author Joe Mobley (editor of the North Carolina Historical Review) also discusses the generals collectively: how many were killed or wounded, who attended West Point before the war, who achieved the highest levels of success both on and off the battlefield, and more. "The Old North State could also boast some of the finest general officers in the Confederate army. Mobley provides a biographical sketch of each general's life with emphasis on his Confederate service record-as well as a wartime image of each." -Civil War News
