Bøger af Sam Davis Elliott

Offers the first published biography of this overlooked leader, establishing him as the most prominent Tennessean in the Confederacy and a dominating participant in nineteenth-century Tennessee politics.

As one of the few higher-ranking officers in the Army of Tennessee to avoid controversy, General Alexander P. Stewart was an outstanding, but not outrageous, leader. In this biography, Sam Davis Elliott traces the life of this undeservedly obscure general, from his early years at West Point to his postwar career as Civil War park commissioner.

When Tennessee seceded from the Union in May 1861, Charles Todd Quintard joined the Confederate 1st Tennessee Infantry Regiment as its chaplain and during the maelstrom of the Civil War kept a diary of his experiences. He later penned a memoir. In this volumen, Sam Davis Elliott combines a portion of the diary with Quintard's memoir.
