A Lincoln Man in the Rebel Army (Annotated)

This is a Confederate memoir like no other. W.E. Hughes was an admirer of Abraham Lincoln before the Civil War for two reasons:

1. He saw Lincoln as a lawyer in the courtroom.
2. He saw Lincoln debate Stephen A. Douglas.

Despite deciding that Lincoln was "a bigger man than the Little Giant--Douglas," when war came, Illinois-born Hughes went south to fight for the Confederacy. He gives his reasons and tells of his time in service in this very charming and lively memoir by a successful and intelligent man.

In addition to his wartime experiences, Hughes shares a lifetime of tales of his adventures as a stage coach driver, cowboy, lawyer, real estate baron, and businessman. He traveled extensively and had a much-adored granddaughter who shared many of his adventures.

Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
