by Gen. James E. Longstreet
|
In this important work, originally published in 1895, Gen. Longstreet answers his critics in his own words.
General Longstreet, who began the American Civil War in New Mexico, served with great distinction throughout the course of the conflict. His chief claim to fame was as commander of the Confederate Army's First Corps, which in its various incarnations fought through most of the major wartime campaigns.
After the war, a clique of former Confederate officers began blaming General Longstreet for the army's defeat at Gettysburg. The most vocal instigators behind this slur campaign engaged in a great deal of partisan sniping at General Longstreet. It should be noted that this was done after General Lee's death when Lee could no longer gainsay the critics and after many of these people had begun careers in the Senate and Congress. Below is offered an item from Lee's post-war correspondence which leaves no doubt about his opinion of Longstreet:
