Brigadier General Tyree H. Bell, C.S.A.: Forrest's Fighting Lieutenant
ISBN: 9781572333093 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For two years, Tyree H.

He was neither a professional soldier nor an attorney-politician; he was, instead, a farmer with no previous military experience, a model of the citizen-soldier. Using Bell's unpublished autobiography and other primary materials, including...

Little Phil: A Reassessment of the Civil War Leadership of Gen. Philip H. Sheridan

Raphael Semmes dominates the history of Confederate naval operations in the American Civil War.

Revered in the South as a hero, the North reviled and feared the Yankee-hating Semmes as a pirate. Regardless of his reputation, his wartime exploits were remarkable.
