Autobiography of Virginia lawyer and Confederate General Jubal Anderson Early (1816-1894). In his preface he says that even though he originally voted against secession, "When the State of Virginia became on of the Confederate States and her troops were turned over to the Confederate Government, I embraced the cause of the whole Confederacy with equal ardor, and continued to the service, with the determination to devote all the energy and talent I possessed to the common defence. I fought through the entire war, without once regretting the course I pursued, with an abiding faith in the justice of our cause." Includes firsthand reports about battles at Manassas, Cedar Run, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Spottsylvania, Monocacy, Winchester, and more. A fascinating account for any historian.
