Reviews
"To generations of Civil War historians, the name William Barksdale conjures up images of his Mississippi brigade's smashing attack against Gettysburg's Peach Orchard on July 2, 1863. In William Barksdale, CSA , author Doug Ashton gives readers the most deeply researched biography ever written on this controversial Confederate general. From Barksdale's beginnings in Tennessee through the combative halls of pre-Civil War Congress and to his final battle in Pennsylvania, Ashton provides greater context to the exaggerated image of Barksdale as only a fire-eating secessionist. In examining Barksdale's successes and failures, readers will gain a much better understanding of the general's fiery personality and the equally tumultuous times in which he lived."--James A. Hessler, Gettysburg Licensed Battlefield Guide and award winning author of Gettysburg's Peach Orchard "'Barksdale!' His surname alone stirs emotions of valor and memorable sacrifice! Mississippi's General William Barksdale was one of the Confederacy's most heroic warrior-commanders. Looking over the heads of his gathered regiments at Gettysburg he called out sharply, 'Attention, Mississippi Battalions! Forward!' and charged forever into the pages of history! Long-overdue, Doug Ashton, an impartial chronicler breathes life into Barksdale from birth until his untimely death on the battlefield. Read and understand the substance of a noteworthy life during a noteworthy time!"--H. Grady Howell, Historian Emeritus, Mississippi Department of Archives and History., "the key considerations of Barksdale's Civil War career as a fighting officer are notably well presented and convincingly defended. Primarily on the strength of its military biography aspects, William Barksdale, CSA is recommended reading for those wishing to explore the life and career of one of the Army of Northern Virginia's highest performing brigadier generals."-- Civil War Books and Authors, "William Barksdale of Mississippi has finally gotten a Confederate general's due: a book-length biography. And it's a good one. ...thoroughly researched, capably written, and comprehensively organized. Best of all, its subject provides for a most interesting read....richly illustrated...impressive"-- Civil War News, "excellent set of maps. The bibliography is impressive-looking in its depth and variety of sources listed."-- Civil War Books and Authors, "'Barksdale!' His surname alone stirs emotions of valor and memorable sacrifice!

Many, however, know little about his prewar life--as lawyer, newspaperman, and politician. Author Ashton has undertaken to fill that gap and has provided a detailed and fascinating account of Barksdale's service...A well-written and not-before-time addition to the coverage of Civil War generals."-- North & South

Synopsis
An aggressive and colorful personality, William Barksdale was no stranger to controversy. Orphaned at 13, he succeeded as lawyer, newspaper editor, Mexican War veteran, politician and Confederate commander. This first full-length biography places his life and career in historical context., An aggressive and colorful personality, William Barksdale was no stranger to controversy. Orphaned at 13, he succeeded as lawyer, newspaper editor, Mexican War veteran, politician and Confederate commander. During eight years in the U.S. Congress, he was among the South's most ardent defenders of slavery and advocates for states' rights. His emotional speeches and altercations--including a brawl on the House floor--made headlines in the years preceding secession. His fiery temper prompted three near-duels, gaining him a reputation as a brawler and knife-fighter. Arrested for intoxication, Colonel Barksdale survived a military Court of Inquiry to become one of the most beloved commanders in the Army of Northern Virginia. His reputation soared with his defense against the Union river crossing and street-fighting at Fredericksburg, and his legendary charge at Gettysburg. This first full-length biography places his life and career in historical context.

The item shipped on time, and was exactly as described. It was packaged in a way to protect the item, especially since it was made out of paper. I found this to be a good value, because it was a used book. I highly recommend this seller to everyone, and would definitely use them again.
