À propos de cet e-book
This book covers General Early’s rise from second Lieutenant during the Seminole War to General.
Richly illustrated throughout by Timothy T. Pohmer.
“I first became interested in writing a biography of General Jubal Early while I was teaching history at the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York. The more I investigated this subject, the more I was convinced that for some unexplainable reason historians have neglected one of the great heroes of the Confederacy. In order to acquaint the reader better with one of the South’s almost-forgotten generals, I undertook this study.”—Millard Kessler Bushong, Preface
