Description: "Bradwell tells of his brief time as a member of Stonewall Jackson's "foot cavalry," his later experience among the Confederate infantry making the deepest penetration into the North during the Gettysburg Campaign, and part of the last of Lee's army to leave enemy soil after the Gettysburg invasion. He participated in General Ewell's first action at the Wilderness, fought with his brigade at the 'Bloody Angle' at Spotsylvania Courthouse, and was with General Early in his 1864 Valley Campaign.

After fighting in the unsuccessful attack on Ft. Steadman at Petersburg in 1865, Bradwell was one of the last to evacuate the Rebel defenses." "He concluded his valiant service in the line of battle at Appomattox Courthouse. Bradwell had wanted to see his writings collected in book form in 1933, but the depression cut short that idea. At long last, his memoirs are published between two covers."--BOOK JACKET.
