"[...]decided by generalship and numbers; and this was the experience of our kinsmen in their great civil war. The country squires who followed the banners of Newcastle and Rupert at first swept the eastern-counties yeomanry and the London train-bands from the field; but fiery and impetuous valor was at last overmatched by the disciplined purpose and stubborn constancy of Cromwell's Ironsides.

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. A literary gem of history By Robert Stacy Mccain Without question, Taylor's memoir is the most literary first-person account of the war. His narrative is studded with allusions to history, literature and classical mythology. Taylor has a very sarcastic wit.It is worth noting that Taylor -- son of U.S. president Zachary Taylor -- opposed secession. He provides an account of his efforts at the 1860 Democratic Party convention to prevent the split that resulted in Lincoln's election. He remarks bitterly about the lighthearted disregard for the potential consequences of war, a sentiment that was widespread in the South before Sumter.His accounts of Stonewall Jackson's 1862 Shenandoah Valley campaign and the 1864 Red River campaign are must-reads for any serious student of the war. And his personal evaluations of such major figures of the Confederacy as Jefferson Davis, Joseph Johnston, Jackson, Nathan Bedford Forrest are invaluable, being written by one who knew them directly. Also, his account of Reconstruction is insightful, given Taylor's personal interactions with such figures as Andrew Johnson, U.S. Grant, Thaddeus Stevens and Charles Sumner.
