Soldier of Tennessee

General Alexander P. Stewart and the Civil War in the West
Langbeschreibung
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 of 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.
Sam Davis Elliott is the author an attorney in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the editor of Doctor Quintard, Chaplain C.S.A. and Second Bishop of Tennessee: The Memoir and Civil War Diary of Charles Todd Quintard.
