"Unlike many artime memoirists, Chamberlaine chooses to remain relatively neutral in terms of events and characters . . . Chamberlaine's account is well worth reading. His voice is unique, and he includes 'general remarks' at the end that reveal much about his views on the significance of the events he lived through."--Civil War Times

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. William Wilson Chamberlaines Memoirs of the Civil War, though relatively little known because of its rarity in the original edition, contains much valuable information and engaging narrative passages. A Virginian whose Confederate career included service in an infantry regiment early in the war, Chamberlaines 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. His book includes excellent material on the duties of staff officers, operation of Confederate conscription, and the role of artillery in Lees 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. Never before reprinted, Memoirs of the Civil War benefits greatly from a perceptive introduction by Robert E. L. Krick. Its intrinsic merits should earn attention from readers interested in the storied operations of the Army of Northern Virginia. From the Preface by Gary W. Gallagher Contains much valuable information and engaging narrative passages Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
