To the Manner Born: The Life of General William H. T. Walker by Russell K Brown

Description: To the Manner Born: The Life of General William H.T. Walker by Russell K. Brown From the back cover: This book is the first full-length objective study of the ill-fated Confederate general. W.H.T. Walker was a man of action, but he was also a man of strong likes and dislikes, of hot temper but of tender compassion. Known in his lifetime as "Old Shot Pouch" for his many war wounds, he has come down to us as the "Georgia Firebrand." He could boast of his accomplishments, but he could be humbled by sorrow. He could appear reduced in integrity by his ambition, but he could be redeemed by service to his family or to his country. He held a philosophy of life that his contemporaries found admirable, however it might be judged by modern society. To dismiss him as merely a military proslavery general is to do him an injustice. The evidence shows that he was that, but also much more. In the words of one reviewer, "This finely crafted book was long overdue."
