Richard S. Ewell by Donald C Pfanz
General Richard Stoddert Ewell holds a unique place in the history of the Army of Northern Virginia. For four months, Ewell was Stonewall Jackson's most trusted subordinate; when Jackson died, Ewell took command of the Second Corps, leading it at Gettysburg, the Wilderness Campaign, and Spotsylvania Court House. By the end of the war, he was in charge of the defense of Richmond. With this book, Donald Pfanz provides more than just a military biography. He also examines Ewell's life before and after the Civil War, offering an exceptionally detailed portrait of one of the South's most important leaders.
"Fills an important void in the Civil War literature, while also providing valuable discussions of antebellum military life and a portrait of the planter class in the postwar South" - Journal of American History"
DONALD C. PFANZ is a Civil War historian and author of Abraham Lincoln at City Point and War So Terrible: A Popular History of the Battle of Fredericksburg.
