In the years following the American Civil War, many participantsΓÇögenerals, politicians, journalists, and soldiersΓÇöauthored first-hand accounts of their unique experiences. As Alfred E.

James Longstreet, Cpl. Sam Watkins, Lt. John W. Worsham, Col. Edward Porter Alexander, Capt. John Wilkinson, and Jefferson Davies.

A comprehensive introduction and headnote for each excerpt provide background information and context.
