A Virginian whose Confederate career included service in an infantry regiment early in the war, Chamberlaine s most important military service was as a staff officer attached to Brigadier General Reuben Lindsay Walker, who commanded the Third Corps artillery in the Army of Northern Virginia.Includes excellent material on the duties of staff officers, operation of Confederate conscription, and the role of artillery in Lee s campaigns. He is especially eloquent and revealing about a number of famous battles: the Seven Days; Antietam, where Chamberlaine distinguished himself and was wounded; and the Wilderness, where he had a memorable encounter with Lee.
