"Truth in history is sacred and these things must be said." So writes Philip Stephenson in this remarkable memoir about his four years of service in the Army of Tennessee. Written in 1865, when he was twenty, Stephenson's diary relates his observations and reminiscences in painstaking detail. A private who became a veteran infantryman and artilleryman, Stephenson witnessed the death of Leonidas Polk and shared a blanket with a sleeping General Breckinridge. Ably edited by Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes, Jr., Stephenson's vibrant memoirs indeed stand out, as he had hoped, "as though photographed in letters of fire."

A short meditation on the Lost Cause, the life of Davis (with particular attention paid to his imprisonment), and the easy restoration of Davis' citizenship in 1976. Warren's work represents an older time, when Southerners grappled with mixed feelings on history, and novelists in particular understood the tragic sensibility. In our age the sentiment is mostly lost; we seek "enemies" to destroy, and Davis has become one of the arch-villains of our history. Perhaps he was. Reading a book like this reminds me that interpretation and memory is never, despite the efforts of the day, total nor complete. Warren himself grasps that memory is troubled and ephemeral; until the last man dies we will always be searching in vain for "the last word."
