reviewed Fighting for the Confederacy: The Personal Recollections of General Edward Porter Alexander on August 29, 2017 Fighting for the Confederacy: The Personal Recollections of General Edward Porter Alexander
An extremely well written and balanced view of the experiences of General Alexander in the Civil War. I recommend this as highly as Shelby Foote's 'The Civil War.' Unless you are a true reader of histories of the Civil War you might have overlooked this man, but rectify that quickly. Although, on second thought I qualify that by saying if you saw Gettysburg or Gods and Generals you might have caught on that he was more important than you realized.
Besides Gettysburg, General Alexander was at Chickamauga with Longstreet. And then back north to the siege of Petersburg and actually suspected the Yankees were tunneling under the lines of the Confederates before the Battle of the Crater, but was not taken seriously. The General was at Appomattox with General Lee where he made a suggestion regarding the end of the war that he was rebuked by General Lee. You will have to read the book for that story.
An interesting life postwar as well. Oh, did I mention he was a Georgia boy? Washington, GA that is. A teacher of mathematics and arbiter for President Grover Cleveland, a duck hunting friend.
Great life.
