Reminiscences Of The Civil War is a personal account of the American Civil War by John Brown Gordon, a Confederate general who fought in many of the war's major battles. The book is divided into two parts, with the first covering Gordon's experiences as a soldier and the second focusing on his post-war political career.In the first part, Gordon recounts his early life and military training before delving into his experiences on the battlefield. He describes his participation in major battles such as Antietam, Gettysburg, and Chickamauga, providing vivid and often harrowing descriptions of the fighting and its aftermath. Gordon also reflects on the tactics and strategies employed by both the Confederate and Union armies, as well as the personal relationships he formed with his fellow soldiers.The second part of the book covers Gordon's post-war life, including his involvement in politics and his service as a senator and governor of Georgia. He discusses the challenges faced by the South in the aftermath of the war, including Reconstruction and the struggle for civil rights. Gordon also reflects on his own personal beliefs and values, and how they influenced his political career.Overall, Reminiscences Of The Civil War provides a unique and personal perspective on one of the most significant events in American history. Gordon's account offers a valuable insight into the experiences of a Confederate soldier, as well as the political and social issues that shaped the aftermath of the war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
