| Summary | "From Manassas to Appomattox: Memoirs of the Civil War in America" by James Longstreet is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides firsthand insights into the American Civil War, chronicled from the perspective of Longstreet, a prominent officer in the Confederate Army. It covers the notable battles and campaigns he participated in, illustrating the complexities and conditions faced by soldiers during this turbulent period in American history. At the start of the memoir, Longstreet reflects on his early life and military career, describing his upbringing, education at West Point, and the transition from the U.S. Army to joining the Confederate cause. He recounts the difficult decision to resign and the emotional farewells with friends and comrades as the country splits into North and South. Longstreet details his preparation for war, including his assignment to the First Corps under General Beauregard at the First Battle of Bull Run, setting the stage for his subsequent experiences throughout the war, and hinting at the challenges and strategies that will unfold in the chapters to come.
