Автор:Larry Gordon Год: 2009 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: 272 ISBN: 0760335176 John Crawford Vaughn was one of the most famous men in Tennessee in the nineteenth century. He was the first man to raise a regiment in the state . . . and one of the very last Confederate generals to surrender. The first biography of this poorly understood figure, this book reveals new information about Vaughn’s location on the field of crucial battles; his multiple wounds; his role as Jefferson Davis’s friend and escort; the fact that his wife and family were captured by Union soldiers; and the effect of this knowledge on his performance as a military commander. It also serves as an admirable unit histories of one of the only Rebel cavalry brigade of East Tennesseans.
