Excellent biography
I have been interested in the relatively obscure My. Generals Richard Taylor and Edmund Kirby Smith since childhood. This book is a very readable bio of Taylor. The son of Pres. Zachary Taylor, he was one of 3 prewar Confederate lieutenant generals not to have attended West Point or other military school. He was integral to Jackson's Valley Campaign. He single handedly defended western Louisiana for 2 years. He blunted and defeated Banks' Red River Campaign. He ended the war as departmental commander in eastern Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. He played a significant role as a moderate secessionist before the war and a moderate opponent of Reconstruction post war. I normally prefer history to biography. This book satisfies my need for history in a biographical context.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
