FOUR YEARS UNDER MARSE ROBERT

FOUR YEARS UNDER MARSE ROBERT by Robert Stiles ** FREE SHIPPING within contiguous U.S. ** Four Years Under Marse Robert is a well-known memoir of the American Civil War, written by Robert Stiles and is considered a classic of Confederate literature, offering a deeply personal and detailed look at the life of a soldier in the Army of Northern Virginia. The book is highly regarded by historians not just for its military accounts, but for its "human" perspective. Stiles captures: The Daily Grind: Descriptions of camp life, the bonding between soldiers, and the "rough-housing" (like massive snowball fights) that provided relief from the stress of war. The Brutality: He does not shy away from the horrors of combat, famously describing a scene where his company had to fight amongst the decaying remains of soldiers from a previous day's battle. Devotion to Lee: The book reflects the near-religious reverence many soldiers felt for Lee. One famous anecdote in the book notes that while some men might believe they descended from monkeys (Darwinism), they believed "it took a God to make Marse Robert." Spirit and Religion: A full chapter is dedicated to the religious revivals that took place within Lee’s army. FREE SHIPPING within contiguous U.S. Additional pictures available upon request.…
