Lee's Lieutenants: A Study in Command, Volume 1: Manassas to Malvern Hill

lvi, [2], 773, [1] pp. 8vo. Includes black & white photographic portraits of Robert E. Lee's lieutenants. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "Douglas Southall Freeman, (May 16, 1886 – June 13, 1953), was an American journalist and historian. He won Pulitzer Prizes for two of his books, his four-volume biography of Robert E. Lee, and his seven-volume biography of George Washington (a seventh volume First in Peace was written after Freeman's death by J. A. Carroll and M. W. Ashworth, two of his historical associates). He was also the author of the three-volume Lee's Lieutenants: A Study in Command. Freeman's treatments of the American Civil War are often cited as examples of the Lost Cause movement, emphasizing the glory and nobility of the Southern generals and the futility of their fight against the power of the North. While Freeman certainly does emphasize the nobility of Lee's character, he does not say that Lee made no mistakes, nor does he say that the North only won because of superior numbers." -- Wikipedia
