| Summary: | Contains much valuable information and engaging narrative passages <br> <br> Memoirs of the Civil War , though relatively little known because of its rarity in the original edition, contains much valuable information and engaging narrative passages. A Virginian whose Confederate career included service in an infantry regiment early in the war, Chamberlaine's most important military service was as a staff officer attached to Brigadier General Reuben Lindsay Walker, who commanded the Third Corps artillery in the Army of Northern Virginia.<br> <br> Includes excellent material on the duties of staff officers, operation of Confederate conscription, and the role of artillery in Lee's campaigns. He is especially eloquent and revealing about a number of famous battles: the Seven Days; Antietam, where Chamberlaine distinguished himself and was wounded; and the Wilderness, where he had a memorable encounter with Lee. |
