description: This is a fascinating primary document of the Civil War, the diary of British Lt. Colonel Arthur James Lyon Fremantle, who kept this engaging account of his tour of the Confederacy in 1863. He met a who's-who of the South: Lee, Davis, Stuart, Johnston, Longstreet, and many others, his descriptions culminating at Gettysburg, a battle which Fremantle viewed practically at Lee's elbow. Historian Walter Lord provides an introduction and extensive notes for the modern reader.
