General Edmund Kirby Smith C.S.A.

This biography was first published in 1954. Therefore it is refreshingly free of the modern day blight of presentism as it relates to social issues, and of cancerous critical race theory that seemingly worms its way into almost every historical work written today. The purpose of this biography is to present an informative story of a man’s life, beginning to end, without heaping judgement upon a 19th century person for not having the same views and sentimentalities as people in the 21st century. Historians used to understand that not so long ago.

I recommend this book.
