Offers significant insight into the life, heart, mind, and attitudes of an intelligent, educated, young mid19thcentury white SouthernerThis book contains the letters of George Knox Miller who served as a line officer in the Confederate cavalry and participated in almost all of the major campaigns of the Army of Tennessee. He was, clearly, a very welleducated young man. Born in 1836 in Talladega, Alabama, he developed a great love for reading and the theater and set his sights upon getting an education that would lead to a career in law or medicine; meanwhile he worked as an apprentice in a painting firm to earn tuition. Miller then enrolled in the University of Virginia, where he excelled in his studies.Eloquent, bordering on the lyrical, the letters provide riveting firsthand accounts of cavalry raids, the monotony of camp life, and the horror of battlefield carnage. Miller gives detailed descriptions of military uniforms, cavalry tactics, and prison conditions. He conveys a deep commitment to the Confederacy, but he was also critical of Confederate policies that he felt hindered the armys efforts. Dispersed among these warrelated topics is the story of Millers budding relationship with Celestine Cellie McCann, the love of his life, whom he would eventually marry.
