Book excerpt: Few generals of the Confederate States Army had such a glittering career as John Brown Gordon, although without any formal military training he rose from captain of a company of Georgia mountineers to the rank of Major-General. He was described by the Robert E. Lee as one of his finest commanders and that his actions were “characterized by splendid audacity”. He was distinguished in many the early battles of the Army of North Viginia; First Bull Run, Malvern Hill; holding the vital “Bloody Lane” at Antietam he was shot five times as he encouraged his men. After a period of recuperation he plunged back into the fray and won further laurels at battles at Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House and the final surrender at Appomattox. His memoirs are justly famous and are an acclaimed classic. “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. ... I have also recorded in this volume a large number of those characteristic and thrilling incidents which illustrate a unique and hitherto unwritten phase of the war, the story of which should not be lost, because it is luminous with the noblest lessons. Many of these incidents came under my own observation”--Introduction.

Excerpt: ... of the hill, where we piled it up, and each morning took a portion of it to fill our load. On account of the distance from home and the severity of the winter, I boarded near my work with a farmer's family by the name of Crawford. The family consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Crawford, elderly people, and three grown sons, one of whom was married. We called his wife "Chatty." Mrs. Crawford was in poor health and Chatty took charge of the house. She was a little body, but what she lacked in size, she made up in energy. She was a fine cook and housekeeper. Mrs. Crawford, whom we called "Grandma," occupied a large room on the first floor, in which the old-fashioned fireplace had been allowed to remain. Another boarder with us that winter, was a young man named Foster Seaman, a fine singer. In the evenings, seated before the open fireplace in Grandma's room, he would entertain us for an hour while we were getting thawed out. Grandma was attended by a gentleman who was known as Dr. May, not an M. D., but healed by the "laying on of hands." Grandma declared that she had received more benefit from his treatment than from all the doctors who had attended her, and they were many. The doctor was a man of considerable ability. He was a musician, teaching both vocal and instrumental. He also lectured and practiced on phrenology. The first time that I heard the song ' Dixie, ' it was sung and played on an old-fashioned melodeon by him. He was very genial, and I spent many pleasant hours in his company. The winter broke up along in March. The snow disappeared, leaving the roads in very bad condition, and as the old settlers said, ' It was neither sleighing nor wheeling."
