About This Item
Nashville: Vanderbilt University Press, 1994. Second edition. Paperback. Good+. 6 x 9, 363 pgs, index, bibliography, notes, maps. In 1861 Earl Van Dorn entered the Confederate Army, heralded as one of its most promising young officers. Few men of his age had more military experience and prestige. A -West Point graduate, Van Dorn distinguished himself in the Mexican War under Generals Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott, and had fought the Indians in Texas as a member of the famous Second Cavalry. His early service in the Civil War further embellished his record. In late 1861 he was transferred to the critical Virginia theater of operations, where Jefferson Davis, his personal friend and commander-in-chief, expected great things of him. This new edition includes an afterword with more historical information about the general.
