Alexander Cheves Haskell: The Portrait of a Man
Louise Haskell Daly
A reprint of the 1934 edition. NEW TO THIS EDITION: Edited by and new introduction by Lee Wallace, enhanced with an introduction, notes and biographical sketch of Haskell. Now indexed for the first time! Among the best and rarest of Confederate memoirs and one of the most collected of Confederate books. “One of the grandest classics of Confederate literature. . . . Haskell’s battle descriptions are of extraordinary vividness and even savagery.” —Robert Krick. Written by Haskell’s daughter and based on her father’s letters and a recollection that he wrote in 1908. Alexander Cheves Haskell was one of seven Haskell brothers from Abbeville, South Carolina that fought for the Confederacy. He was present at the shelling of Ft. Sumter, served throughout most of the war as a staff officer in the Gregg-McGowan, South Carolina brigade. He was severely wounded at Fredericksburg and again at Chancellorsville. He later was given command of the Seventh South Carolina Cavalry, and lost an eye at Darbytown Road. His unit was the last to evacuate Richmond, and it was Haskell who commanded the Confederate calvary forces at the surrender at Appomattox. ISBN 0-916107-13-2 $40
