There was hardly a person who waged more war than Edward Porter Alexander, an American engineer, an officer in the U.S. Army, a Confederate general in the Civil War, who later became a planter and author. Alexander was an outstanding and worthy man, whose memoires of war appear the greatest inheritance, left for the descendants. He eloquently tells of his impressions; describes the soldiers and officers of the great Confederate army with startling impartiality. The pictures, sounds and even scents of the battles, depicted by Alexander, amaze readers’ imagination.
