It relates how, without guidance from the floundering Buchanan administration, a decisive army lieutenant saved Fort Pickens at Pensacola in January, while a naval commodore was court-martialed fo...

This is meant to be a history of one company from rural Georgia, composed of ordinary men, probably representative of most companies in the Army of Northern Virginia. It was impossible to separate the company from the regiment and to seperate the regiment from the brigade, so this is to a certain degree a history of the Blanchard-Wright-Sorrel Brigade.

But at the time, on the borderlands of Pennsylvania and Virginia, no one expected war, and no one knew how it would turn out. The one certainty was that any war between the states would be foug...
