QR code
"Recollections of a Confederate Staff Officer" by G. Moxley Sorrel is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a personal narrative from Sorrel, who served as a staff officer during the Civil War, detailing his experiences in significant battles and his reflections on various military leaders. This work appears to be an engaging memoir, aimed at providing insights into life on the battlefield and the dynamics within
the Confederate Army. The opening of the memoir recounts Sorrel's background, his decision to leave his civilian life for military service, and his introduction to several prominent figures in the Confederate Army. He shares the excitement and tumult of the first Battle of Manassas (Bull Run) in 1861, describing his initial experiences under fire and the relationships he formed with notable commanders like Longstreet and Stonewall Jackson. The account is rich with personal anecdotes, setting the tone for the memoir as both a vivid portrayal of military life and a compelling historical document.
