Description: "Charles Marshall was appointed aide-de-camp to Robert E. Lee on 21 March 1862, and from then until the surrender, he stood at the general's side. A military secretary, he compiled an account of the day-to-day wartime experience of the Confederacy's most celebrated - and enigmatic - military figure." "Marshall's papers are of three sorts: those intended for a projected life of Lee, those intended for an account of the campaign at Gettysburg, and notes on events of the war. Collected here, these papers provide a firsthand look at Lee's generalship - from the most complete account ever given of the fateful orders issued to Jeb Stuart at Gettysburg to the only testimony from a Southern witness of the scene in McLean's house at Appomattox."--BOOK JACKET.
