John C. Oeffinger 
A Soldier’s General [EPUB ebook] 
The Civil War Letters of Major General Lafayette McLaws

Sokongan

During his service in the Confederate army, Major General Lafayette Mc Laws (1821-1897) served under and alongside such famous officers as Robert E. Lee, Joseph E. Johnston, James Longstreet, and John B. Hood. He played a significant role in some of the most crucial battles of the Civil War, including Harpers Ferry, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg. Despite this, no biography of Mc Laws or history of his division has ever been published.
A Soldier’s General gathers ninety-five letters written by Mc Laws to his family between 1858 and 1865, making these valuable resources available to a wide audience for the first time. The letters, painstakingly transcribed from Mc Laws’s notoriously poor handwriting, contain a wealth of opinion and information about life and morale in the Confederate army, Civil War-era politics, the Southern press, and the impact of war on the Confederate home front. Among the fascinating threads the letters trace is the story of Mc Laws’s fractured relationship with childhood friend Longstreet, who had Mc Laws relieved of command in 1863.
John Oeffinger’s extensive introduction sketches Mc Laws’s life from his beginnings in Augusta, Georgia, through his early experiences in the U.S. Army, his marriage, his Civil War exploits, and his postwar years.
