Reviews
"A lively and useful ... source on the battles in the eastern theater and the Confederate commanders who fought them.... (Poague's memoirs) contain realistic accounts of army life, including some good soldier anecdotes, and revealing glimpses of Jackson, Lee, the two Hills, Longstreet, and other generals." -- American Historical Review
