Description: This volume on the Southern effort in the Civil War has at least one novel feature. It says practically nothing about military leaders. The fact is commonly forgotten that the South possessed civic as well as military figures. It had a government as well as an army. Yet the civilian side has so far attracted little attention from historians. - Prologue.
