I've been looking for a free version of the memoirs of General Longstreet for quite a while.  Fortunately, it looks like a few months back it showed up on Amazon?Over 11,500 locations, General Longstreet has expressed his views of what happened in the parts of the Civil War that he was part of.  Keep in mind, that General Longstreet wrote long after the attempts started to blame him for the loss of the War.  His views are quite interesting reading, and should be read by any Civil War buff.  If he had an issue with someone, you will hear about it.  He's very open about his feelings about the darts tossed at him after the war.  The short post Civil War is very interesting to read.Longstreet has a number of interesting parts of the war to share.  The adventure of "Julius Caesar" is one of the best ones, I've ever read of.About 1/4 of the memoirs are letters between Lee and Longstreet and a functional index.Easily worth recommending.
