Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Limited Edition #217 of 300 printed. Bound in publisher's brown cloth. Gilt lettering. Confederate flags pictured on front board. Hardcover. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. 474 p.; 24 cm."Gordon had a way of putting things to the men that was irresistible, and he showed… the men, at all times, that he shrank from nothing in battle on account of himself." - Lt. Gen. Thomas Stonewall Jackson. "Among the most entertaining of [generals'] memoirs," Freeman opined in Nevins, p.95, v.1. General John Brown Gordon was born on February 6, 1832 in Upson City, Georgia. In early May of 1861 Gordon was commissioned a captain of the 6th Alabama Infantry Regiment and rose to the rank of Colonel by April 28, 1862. Colonel Gordon was promoted to the rank of Brigadier-General on November 1, 1862. He was then put in charge of General Jubal Early's Division in the Army of Northern Virginia from April 11, 1863 to May 8, 1864. On May 14, 1864 General Gordon was promoted to Major-General and was given the command of Johnson's Division in the Army of Northern Virginia. General Gordon fought at the Battle of First Bull Run. He also led the 6th Alabama at the Battle of Antietam. General Gordon was wounded in the head at the Battle of Antietam, and he later he showed how a hole in his hat, from a different bullet during the battle, kept him from drowning in his own blood. After General Gordon returned he was put in command of a Georgia brigade at the Battle of Chancellorsville and the Battle of Gettysburg. General Robert E. Lee would praise General Gordon on his attack on the Union right flank at the Battle of the Wilderness. During the Battle of Spotsylvania General Gordon earned the rank of Major-General. General Gordon also led the last charge of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox. A hero to Georgians at the age of just 33, Gordon returned to his home state and began to practice law once again. He vigorously opposed federal Reconstruction policies, but, when he ran for governorship as a Democrat in 1868, he was defeated by his Republican opponent. Unquestionably a symbol of the age of white supremacy to his Georgian constituents, Gordon was rumored to be a Grand Dragon in the Ku Klux Klan. Gordon was elected to the U.S. Senate (1873-79). Though he was reelected, he resigned in 1880 to take an important position with a railroad company, thereby leading the shift of the New South to commercialism and industrialism. He returned to politics in 1886 for one term as governor and, at the conclusion of that term in 1890, was sent back to the U.S. Senate, where he served until 1897. When the United Confederate Veterans organization was formed in 1890, Gordon was made commander in chief, a position he occupied until his death. He published memoirs of his military exploits in Reminiscences of the Civil War (1903).

Unread condition UNCIRCULATED "For Reference" Not to be taken from this room" Geneology Department copy. "For many years I have been urged to place on record my reminiscences of the war between the States. In undertaking the task now, it is not my purpose to attempt a comprehensive description of that great struggle, nor an elaborate analysis of the momentous interests and issues involved. The time may not have arrived for a full and fair history of that most interesting period in the Republic's life. The man capable of writing it with entire justice to both sides is perhaps yet unborn. He may appear, however, at a future day, fully equipped for the great work. If endwed with the requisite breadth and clearness of view, with inflexible mental integrity and absolute freedom from all bias, he will produce the most instructive and thrilling record in the world's deathless annals, and cannot fail to make a contribution of measureless value to the American people and to the cause of free government throughout the world. Conscious of my own inability to meet the demands of so great an undertaking, I have not attempted it, but with an earnest desire to contribute Something toward such future history these reminiscences have been written. I have endeavored to make my review of that most heroic era so condensed as to claim the attention of busy people, and so impartial as to command the confidence of the fair-minded in all sections. It has been my fixed purpose to make a brief but dispassionate and judicially fair analysis of the divergent opinions and ceaseless controversies which for half a century produced an ever-widening alienation between the sections, and which finally plunged into the fiercest and bloodiest of fratricidal wars a great and enlightened people who were of the same race, supporters of the same Constitution, and joint heirs of the same freedom. I have endeavored to demonstrate that the courage displayed and the ratio of losses sustained were unprecedented in modern warfare. I have also recorded in this volume a large number of those characteristic and thrilling incidents which illusrate a unique and hitherto unwritten phase of the war, the story of which should not be lost, because it is luminious with the noblest lessons. Many of these eincidents came under my own observation. They marked every step of the war's progress, were often witnessed by both armies, and were of almost daily occurrence in the camps, on the marches, and between the lines; increasing in frequency and pathos as the war progressed, and illustrating the distinguishing magnanimity and lofty mahhood of the American soldier. It will be found, I trust, that no injustice has been done to either section, to any army, or to any of the great leaders, but tha the substance and spirit of the following pages will tend rather to lifft to a higher plane the estimate placed by victors and vanquished upon their countrymen of the opposing section, and thus strenggthen the sentiment of intersectional fraternity which is essential to complete national untiy." - J.B. Gordon, from the Introduction.
