Reminiscences of a Rebel

Dunaway, Wayland Fuller

The War of 1861-65 was not a rebellion, nor was it a civil war, but was, as Gen. T.J. "Stonewall" Jackson once called it, the South's "second war for independence." The author, the son of a Maryland Confederate, and himself an accomplished attorney, outlines the constitutional and historical justifications for the secession of the Southern States and their formation of a new Confederacy, and demonstrates that the fundamental principles of government for which they fought still play an important role in the advancement of free institutions in the world today.

Living Confederate Principles: A Heritage For All Time

Everett, Lloyd Tilghman

The First Kentucky Brigade (afterward nicknamed "The Orphan Brigade") was formed in October, 1861 from a group of Kentucky units that had been mustered into Confederate service in southern Kentucky and northern Tennessee a few months earlier. It was the largest Confederate fighting force from the Commonwealth of Kentucky and fought with distinction, and heavy casualties, all across the South, participating in the Battles of Shiloh, Corinth, Vicksburg, Stone's River, Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge, until it was officially disbanded at Washington, Georgia in May, 1865. Writing nearly fifty years later, the author of this little book, a member of the Fourth Kentucky Regiment and one of the few surviving "Orphans," interspersed his memories of the various battles in which the Brigade was involved with comments on the blunders of certain Confederate leaders which resulted in unnecessary loss of life, singling out Generals Braxton Bragg and G.P.T. Beauregard for special criticism.

Reminiscences of a Soldier of the Orphan Brigade

Young, Lot Dudley

This book presents a brief overview of the lives and careers of the two men that led the opposing sides in the War Between the States: Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis. The author, the son of a Confederate soldier, exposes Lincoln's personal deficiencies of character, his vacillating views on secession, his duplicity in calling for peace while secretly setting the stage for war, and his many violations of his oath and duty to uphold the Constitution. The unsullied integrity and statesmanship of Jefferson Davis is then presented in sharp contrast, along with an answer to the common charge of treason brought against the Southern people.
