A Confederate Memoirs of Joseph Johnston & Jefferson Davis Civil War CSA Two works on important American military and political figures Joseph Johnston and Jefferson Davis Joseph E. Johnston was a 19th-century American Army officer who served as a Confederate States Army general even though he trained at West Point. However his military acumen was wrecked and constantly criticized by Confederate President Jefferson Davis with whom Johnston was very displeased. Following his service time as a military officer Johnston wrote and published his own memoirs memoirs which were mostly attacks on President Davis and other officers as well as defending his own actions and decisions during the Civil War. In Tall Cotton says of this work: A vigorous defense of his own actions and necessarily therefore a hard-hitting attack on others particularly on President Davis against whom he records his objections to excess. According to Nevins this work is one of the earliest Confederate reminiscences; strongly partisan anti-Davis and defensive in tone. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . R. H. Woodward & Company hardcover
