4.9/5 (33712 ratings)

Description:The diaries of Confederate Brigadier General Henry Little are likely the only unpublished journals of a Civil War general. The legacy of Gen. Henry Little constitutes a real piece of little-known American history. These 13 small books, written in his own handwriting, provide a fascinating insight into the activities of a soldier who fought in two wars for both the Union and Confederate sides and experienced a wide variety of military activity from Baltimore to Mexico and the expanding American frontier. General Little over time was a dedicated and loyal soldier who expressed a great love for his family on any number of occasions. He liked the military service, except when it separated him from his loving family. He experienced many gut-wrenching experiences in his lengthy career; nevertheless, he managed to survive each challenge. As a combat leader with both the Federal and Confederate Armies, he did not flinch from his duty, and by the end of his life, he had become a seasoned tactical officer who could command a combined force at the division level. Had he survived, he would have been a strong leader at higher organizational levels. Unfortunately, Confederate Brigadier General Henry Little was killed in the Civil War's Battle of Iuka on September 19, 1862. Reverend John Bannon, division chaplain, made the final entry in Gen. Little's diary pertaining to his death. Rev. Bannon probably delivered the diaries to the general's widow. This book, written from information gathered from his diaries, share Henry Little's activities, as well as his attitudes, images, and values. These unpublished journals still remain in the possession of his ancestors.
