Book Description
Stonewall Jackson depended on him; General Lee complimented him; Union soldiers admired him; and ladies adored him--this dashing, handsome, young Henry Kyd Douglas. He rode with Stonewall. He fought at the side of Ashby. He lived, joked and courted with Jeb Stuart.
From his meeting with John Brown, shortly before Harper's Ferry, through the long bitter years of the Civil War, he clung to the Southern cause. He fought its battles and endured its defeats. And he captured it all, in a resonant prose, in his diaries.
Douglas was born in 1840, became a laywer and was the youngest member of Stonewall Jackson's staff. At the close of the war he was in command of the Light Brigade. After the war he pratices law, rose to prominence in Maryland, and died in 1903.
