Download or read book Recollections of a Confederate Staff Officer written by Gilbert Moxley Sorrel. This book was released on 1905. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir takes the reader inside the workings of the Confederate army staff. Sorrel was a relatively unknown officer who rose through the ranks to become General Longstreet's most trusted associate. Sorrel's memoir makes no claims to strategic analysis. It simply relates what he saw and the events of which he was a part. His vantage point was, however, in many ways unique. His service with Longstreet brought him into the thick of many of the war's decisive engagements.
