Item #51174

SORREL, G[ilbert] Moxley. Recollections of a Confederate Staff Officer. New York: The Neale Publishing Company, 1917. 2nd ed. 309 pp. Portrait frontis. Orig. cloth. Professionally recased with new endpapers, else a very good copy. "Valuable recollections of General James Longstreet's chief of staff, who rose to brigade command in the Army of Northern Virginia near the end of the war. Sorrel's exposure to the commanders of that army throughout the war gave him the opportunity to record some of the most vital data available on the subject. His literary skill imparts humor and color to the account, making it eminently readable as well as historically significant. The sketches of prominent Confederates which Sorrel provides, based on personal contact, are expecially useful." Krick 466. HOWES S-767.
