He was involved in nearly all of the great battles of the East, from First Manassas through Appomattox; on the second day at Gettysburg, Alexander's battalion executed one of the greatest artillery charges of the war; Longstreet relied upon him for reconnaissance, and Stonewall Jackson wanted him made an infantry general.\u003cbr\u003eAlexander wrote two books: a personal memoir intended for his children, which remained unnoticed until 1989, when it was published to enormous critical acclaim as \u003ci\u003eFighting for the Confederacy;\u003c\/i\u003e and this book, \u003ci\u003eMilitary Memoirs of a Confederate, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich was first published in 1907 and immediately recognized as a classic. Unlike \u003ci\u003eFighting for the Confederacy, \u003c\/i\u003e which was based largely on Alexander's own recollections, \u003ci\u003eMilitary Memoirs\u003c\/i\u003e relies on a vast amount of research. It is undoubtedly the most accurate and most important first-hand general history of the Civil War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Porter Alexander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.08h x 5.09w x 1.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306805097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGary W.
