Henry Kyd Douglas (1838–1903)

This might be the beginning of this pattern in naming memoirs, and the book is lively in proportion. It is not deep in analysis, but has many telling details. The record of Kydd Douglass' activities during the battle of Antietam is very interesting.
Originally published in 1898.

The war biography of Colonel Henry Kyd Douglas who joined the Confederate army and served under Stonewall Jackson until his death and was commander of the Brigade which fired the last shots at Appomatix. I found particularly interesting the experiences as a prisoner and the trial post Lincolns assination which is hardly covered by the history books.

Should have been entitled, "Stonewall Rode with Me."
