THE WAR IN THE WORDS OF THE
GRAY BACKS H FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS OF THE WAR
WRITTEN BY
CONFEDERATES FOR CONFEDERATES
These volumes read like
“Co. Aytch” (probably the most popular and enduring of Civil
War Books)
The purpose of this work was to provide an
authoritative history of each Confederate military unit which was
organized in Tennessee, and to publish a memorial Roll of the
Tennessee Confederate soldiers who died or were killed in action.
The unit histories were all written by the men who served in
those units. This is the most sought after reference set on
Confederate Tennessee.
What’s the difference between these
volumes and Tennesseans in the Civil War? Annals is the
Confederate soldiers’ account of the War and themselves as they
saw it—written by first-hand observers. If you want to
understand and see the War and the Confederate soldier as he saw
it and himself, read Lindsley’s Annals.
The Military Annals
of Tennessee does not duplicate and is not like Tennesseans in
the Civil War. That 2-volume set is an excellent reference,
however it contains no first-hand accounts, no color, no flavor,
no opinions, no laughter, and no excitement—just dry facts and
figures. In scanning it you’d never know the Confederate
soldier ever bled, laughed, got tired, or appreciated the ladies.
All of this you will find in Annals. Lindsley’s Annals is for
reading—darn good reading—try it, you’ll like it!
