Description - A Mississippi Rebel in the Army of Northern Virginia: The Civil War Memoirs of Private David Holt by Thomas D. Cockrell
Both an informative picture of one veteran's Civil War experience and a highly readable memoir of a likeable, sensitive, articulate man, A Mississippi Rebel in the Army of Northern Virginia, is a narrative in two parts. The first section depicts what life was like for an upper class, white male coming of age in the mid-nineteenth century. Holt then recounts his wartime experiences, including chronicles of most of the major campaigns and battles of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. His battle descriptions rank among the most graphic, dramatic, and poignant accounts written by any participant in the war. This new paperback edition includes the recently found diary of David Holt that covers the last year of the Civil War.
