I Rode with Stonewall
". . . deserved to see the light long ago."--The Nation"A fortunate addition to the works on the Confederacy's loved general, and a particularly readable and invigorating picture of the times . . . a colorful account, full of the youngness, the rawness, and the bravery of the Southern army. . . . He has written as he lived and fought, earnestly, actively; and with an honest brand of romanticism."--Malcolm Bell, Jr., inThe Savannah News"A thrilling story of the War of the Sixties."--Carroll Dulaney inThe Baltimore News Post". . . more interested in the human side of the war than the technical or military. . . . Indeed, Colonel Douglas strikes a modern note in his handling of his story. He focuses on the humor and pathos with a telling that would equal the camp fire candor of army life today. From John Brown's raid to the trial of Mary E. Surratt, it is a story of tender emotions, gallant riders, dashing young officers and their loyal soldiers."--Thomas Ripley inThe Atlanta Journal"A new mine of information about the immortal Stonewall. . . . The most interesting memoir of the Confederacy that has come out in a long time."--H. J. Eckenrode inThe Richmond Times-Dispatch"There are no heroics and unreconstructed-rebel sighs in the book; it is a simple and vivid record of day-by-day events. . . . For those who like to read about the war as it was instead of as it might have been, Douglas, born a hundred years ago this year, is this year's man."--Ralph Thompson inThe New York Times"I have read many novels about the war between the states, and some histories; never that I can recall, have I read any narrative that gave me a keener sense of what it was like, day by day, in the army than does Henry Kyd Douglas'sI Rode with Stonewall."--Lewis Gannett,New York Herald Tribune
