William Joseph Hardee (October 12, 1815 – November 6, 1873) was a career U.S. Army officer best known for being a prominent Confederate general during the Civil War and for authoring works about military tactics that were well known and used by both sides.
Shortly before the war, Hardee published Rifle and Light Infantry Tactics for the Exercise and Manoeuvres of Troops When Acting as Light Infantry or Riflemen, popularly known as Hardee's Tactics, which became the best-known drill manual of the Civil War. He is also said to have designed the so called Hardee hat about this time. Hardee operated in Arkansas until he was called to join General Albert Sidney Johnston's Army of Mississippi as a corps commander for the Battle of Shiloh. He was wounded there in the arm on April 6, 1862. Johnston was killed at Shiloh and Hardee's corps joined General Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee. Hardee went on to serve throughout the war in the West.
Hardee wrote an official account of the Battle of Shiloh that was preserved in the The War of The Rebellion: Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, and this edition is specially formatted with maps of the battle and images of other important military commanders.
