4.9/5 (34431 ratings)

Description:James Longstreet is one of the most controversial leaders of the American Civil War. Some historians believe he was one of the best Confederate leaders of the war, while others find considerable fault with his leadership. Differing assessments by two of the war's most noted historians, Douglas S. Freeman and Bruce Catton, illustrate this point. When writing of Chickamauga, Catton says, "Bragg received one enormous asset--James Longstreet in person had arrived on the scene." On the other hand, Freeman writes that Longstreet was "beguiled by circumstances into thinking himself a strategist ... [and was] mistaken concerning his aptitudes." Longstreet biographers are also divided concerning his abilities. Longstreet"s first biographers, H. J. Eckenrode and Bryan Conrad, write that Longstreet "was entirely too confident [and] too reluctant to learn ... he was not a great commander, not much more really than an average corps general." However, Longstreet's most recent biographer, Jeffry D. Wert, writes, "Longstreet, not Jackson, was the finest corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
