Editorial Reviews

These remembrances by a Confederate officer were published posthumously in 1880. Though only a colonel, Hood managed to wrestle command of the army of Tennessee away from Gen. Joe Johnston (mentioned in Mary Johnston's novels, above) but paid for his cavalier actions by losing both an arm and a leg in battle.
