    When first published in 1914, these letters, written between June 2, 1862, and April 1, 1865, put Lee's strategy in clearer perspective and shed new light on certain of his moves that had been in dispute.As Douglas Southall Freeman states in the Introduction, every written line of Lee's was a lesson in war. For example, the letters reveal that in 1862, when plans for the defense of Richmond were under review, the Confederate high command considered but rejected a bold proposal to strengthen Stonewall Jackson's army in the Shenandoah Valley, embark on a vigorous offensive campaign against the North, and, if necessary, abandon Richmond.Together these 215 dispatches offer a portrait of Lee that can otherwise be glimpsed only by sifting through hundreds of other letters scattered through the ponderous volumes of the Official Records. They fill many important details about the leadership of the South's greatest general, especially about his close and always cooperative relationships with President Davis.

    This captivating book details the life of one of the Union navy's most heroic young officers and his involvement in the Southern blockade and the sinking of the ironclad Albemarle.

    The Civil War had stated. This book takes you inside the walls of Sumter at that historic moment. It is a close-focus dramatic account of the intrigues, the conflicts of principle and policy, the clash of personalities that led up to that dawn-and to the battle that followed. You will meet the Union commander of Fort Sumter, Major Robert Anderson, a loyal and courageous officer tormented by his love for the South and his hatred of bloodshed. You will see him striving for nearly four desperate months both to arm Sumter and to prevent a showdown there. You will watch his adversaries-a fiery South Carolina governor; a U.S. Secretary of War secretly aiding the Secessionist cause; and Anderson's former pupil and comrade-in-arms, now a Confederate general-as they try to trap him into firing the first shot, to undermine the morale of his garrison and the faith of his supporters in the North, and to prevent supplies and reinforcements from reaching him. You will be with Anderson when last-minute negotiations fail and he has no choice but to await the first shot. And you will be at the battle itself-the thirty-four hour bombardment which the tiny Federal garrison valiantly endured, even though they were outmanned and outgunned, their supplies were depleted, and they had begun to fear that the Union fleet standing in the storm-lashed waters at the harbor entrance could not help them,. Roy Meredith has drawn on the letters, diaries, news dispatches and official papers of the period to re-create the personal and public drama, the causes and consequences of a crucial episode in our history.
