1904 Confederate Civil War Reminiscences General John B Gordon Union Memorial

1904 Confederate Civil War Reminiscences General John B Gordon Union Memorial

“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

General Robert E. Lee considered his compatriot, John Brown Gordon to be one of his most reliable and trustworthy generals during the US Civil War. Himself a general in the Confederate States Army, Gordon would endure not one, but two severe illnesses alongside eight significant wounds on the battlefield.

A rare “memorial edition” of Gen. John B. Gordon’s famous autobiography, ‘Reminiscences of the Civil War.’ Held in high regard by many for its highly entertaining contents, this biographical work offers fascinating insight from a prominent Confederate military leader during one of the darkest times in US history.
