From Manassas to Appomattox is Civil War Memoir written by Confederate General James Longstreet. Robert E. Lee described Longstreet as his "Old War Horse" and his trusted right hand. Longstreet served as the Corps commander of the First Division in the Army of Northern Virginia, and commanded at many famous battles during the War like Second Manassas, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Chickamauga and the Wilderness.James Longstreet has the highest-ranking Confederate military officer to write a memoir. Longstreet wrote this memoir with the purpose of providing insight into the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia but does not hesitate to place blame or offer criticism on Lee's performance if deserved.During the reconstruction period Longstreet was demonized in southern society because people believed he was too critical of General Lee. He was viewed as being too friendly towards the national government, he remained friends with General Sherman, and President U.S. Grant. Longstreet's memoirs are now praised by historians for being fair and balanced without much of the biases and prejudices that are usually contained in memoirs.This work is an important primary source document for the American Civil War and provides historians and casual readers great insight into of one of the highest-ranking general officers of the Confederate States.
