A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Biographie de l'auteur

Robert A. Stiles was born in Woodford County, Kentucky, on July 27, 1836. He was the son of the Rev. Joseph C. Stiles, who later moved his family to Connecticut. Robert was an 1859 Yale College graduate. Not long after his graduation, he went to Richmond, Virginia, and became captivated with the South. Although he was a Unionist when the War Between the States broke out, Stiles felt constrained by his conscience to fight for the Confederacy. After the war, he remained in Virginia, where he practiced law in Richmond. He was a popular speaker at Confederate Veteran events. He was buried at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, along with many of his fellow Confederate veterans. Robert Stiles’ recollections were written long after the war, but his book is still alluring and charismatic as it illustrates his career in the Confederate army and answers the question of why the majority of Southerners believed so strongly in their “Cause.”
