A workman-like biography of a workman-like officer, Elliott has the problem of writing the life of a man who shunned notoriety and who mostly went about the business of fulfilling his duty to the best of his ability; it doesn't leave for many colorful stories. That Stewart emerged from the snake pit that was the Confederate Army of Tennessee respected by most everyone he encountered is probably the man's most salient military achievement. At least besides apparently being responsible as much as anyone that there was an Army of Tennessee after the debacle of Hood's winter offensive. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
As one of the few higher-ranking officers in the Army of Tennessee to avoid controversy, General Alexander P. Stewart (1821-1908) was an outstanding but not outrageous leader. In this masterly biography, Sam Davis Elliott traces the life of this undeservedly obscure general from his early years at West Point through his involvement in nearly all of the battles fought by the Army of Tennessee to his postwar career as an educator and Civil War park commissioner. More than the story of one man, Soldier of Tennessee poignantly conveys the triumphs and failures of the Confederate effort in the West and a divided nation's efforts at reconciliation. Book jacket.
