Description
" . . . it offers a sure, quick, eyewitness assessment of all Lee's campaigns." -Southern Partisan
Walter Taylor was "first to last the closest" of all staff officers to General Robert E. Lee, and his intimate relationship with his commander gives Taylor's writings signal importance in any study of Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia. A recognized classic, Four Years with General Lee first appeared in 1877 and was a collector's item by the turn of the century. This annotated edition, first published in 1962, was prepared by noted Civil War historian James I. Robertson, Jr., who has provided a new introduction for this paperback reissue.
One of Robert E. Lee's closest and most indispensable officers relates the story of Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia.
