About this title

Synopsis:

As one of the few higher-ranking officers in the Army of Tennessee to avoid controversy. General Alexander P. Stewart (1821-1908) was an outstanding but not outrageous leader. Consequently, he has garnered little attention from historians. In this masterly biography. Sam Davis Elliott traces the life of this undeservedly obscure general from his early years at West Point through his involvement in nearly all the battles fought by the Army of Tennessee to his postwar career as an educator and Civil War park commissioner. More than the story of one man, Soldier of Tennessee poignantly conveys the triumphs and failures of the Confederate effort in the West and a divided nation's efforts at reconciliation.

Review:

"Elliott has given a fresh look at an often ignored but important figure. . . . His book will undoubtedly become the definitive work on Stewart."
