Book Description
This book is compiled from the letters of my grandfather and grandmother written to each other during the war and which my grandmother printed privately in 1894. That work consists of two volumes, mostly in fine print, and contains many items not of interest to the general reader or even to members of the family of this generation. The original contains my great-grandfather's diary (extracts) some of W.W. Blackford's memoirs, now published as was "War Years with Jeb Stuart", and other material. -- Preface.

Letters from Lee's Army
Author: Charles Minor Blackford
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803261495
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Charles Minor Blackford was a Virginia aristocrat who fought for the Confederacy as much out of obligation to his class and region as for political reasons. Letters from Lee's Army presents the correspondence between Captain Blackford and his wife, Susan Leigh Blackford, during the war. While Captain Blackford writes of the rigors of campaigning-the dramatically bad food, the constant dysentery, the cold and wet-we see the stoic Susan Blackford gradually relying less and less on her husband to make decisions. During the course of the war Susan Blackford lost her home, three children, and her belongings to the struggle, all without the camaraderie and sustaining sense of purpose known to the soldier. These letters emphasize the stresses that war and separation can place on a marriage. Blackford enlisted in the Second Virginia Cavalry at the outset of the war and in 1863 was posted to Longstreet's Corps. Most of his service was in northern Virginia around the Rappahannock and the Rapidan Rivers, in the Shenandoah Valley, and with Lee's army at Gettysburg. In 1864 Blackford went west with Longstreet's army to Chattanooga, and he returned with Longstreet for the war's final days. This Bison Books edition is introduced by Gordon C. Rhea, the author of The Battle of the Wilderness, May 5-6, 1864 and The Battles for Spotsylvania Court House and the Road to Yellow Tavern.
