Robert K. Krick Lee's Colonels: A Biographical Register of the Field Officers of the Army of Northern Virginia – 5th edition – Lee's Colonels: A Biographical Register of the Field Officers of the Army of Northern Virginia has been a standard reference work for fully 30 years, since it first appeared in 1979. The brand-new heavily augmented 5th edition from Broadfoot Publishing Company is the first to appear since the 1992 third edition, excepting a very slightly modified 1993 History Book Club edition. During the succeeding 16 years, Bob Krick has unearthed an enormous quantity of new information—precise birth or death, middle names, burial sites, marriages—on more than 1200 of the 2000 majors, lieutenant colonels, and colonels who fought in Lee's Army. On most of the rest, he has added further material of lesser sorts, such as contemporary quotes. The appendix, which features one-line entries and years of life on non-ANVA field officers of the line, has benefited from similar refinement and expansion with an imposing array of fresh material. A 16-page insert on high-quality coated paper reproduces 58 photographs, many of them never before published and most of them striking uniformed images. 551 pages, photos, appendix. ISBN: 978-1-56837-415-4 $35 ____________________ |
