| Publisher Description: Over a hundred years have passed since Arthur Middleton Manigault came home from the Civil War and sat down to write his memoirs. He never intended anyone outside his family circle to read his words and until now, no one has. We are indebted to the descendants of General Manigault for sharing their legacy with us. R. Lockwood Tower has edited the narrative, resulting in a brilliant account of the major campaigns of the western front, from the debacle immediately following Shiloh the last gasp at Franklin and Nashville. Arthur Middleton Manigault, of a find old Charleston family, was especially qualified to chronicle these years: as a general he was privy to information those of lower rank did not have; as a sensitive, careful observer, he describes more than just battlefield logistics; and as a well-educated writer, he was able to put it all into words that are a delight to read. |
