Destruction And Reconstruction

Also online · free to read

In this unique series, the Civil War comes vividly to life, as those who were there give eye-witness accounts from both sides of the bloody conflict. A sugar farmer and gentleman politician with no military training before the war, General Richard Taylor—son of President Zachary Taylor—plays a major role in the Red River campaign. Out of print since 1879.
