May I Quote You, General Longstreet?: Observations & Utterances from the South's Great Generals
Edited by Randall Bedwell
"Time sets all things right. Error lives but a day. Truth is eternal." —James Longstreet
James Longstreet is perhaps one of the most lauded and most maligned generals of the Civil War. As second in command to General Lee over the Army of Northern Virginia, Longstreet was renowned as a courageous, clear-thinking, and efficient leader who understood the art of war and time and again led his men to victory. Years after Appomattox, he was condemned as a traitor and blamed for Lee's loss at Gettysburg that subsequently led to the Confederate surrender.
May I Quote You, General Longstreet? tells the story of this tarnished warrior through his own words and the words of those who fought beside him. The praise of superiors and subordinates depicts a man of honor and resolve, qualities and inspired confidence and trust. Ironically, it was during peacetime that Longstreet was forced to defend his name. Yet he fervently believed in the end he would be victorious in this, his final battle.
