Over 400 Confederate and 580 Union soldiers rose to the rank of general in the Civil War. Of them, more than 1 in 10 would die, an astounding 124 in all 78 for the South and 46 for the North. Weaving their stories into a seamless narrative of the entire war, Smith paints a fascinating and often moving portrait of the final moments of some of the finest American warriors who have ever lived.

the gallant dead,
By iron brigade (inverness,fl.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gallant Dead, The: Union and Confederate Generals Killed in the Civil War (Hardcover)
My interest in military history has now moved to the Civil War.I have found the book to be exceptional as a cross reference to Civil War units and their leaders. As a point of reference,I never realized how many Civil War generals were killed and subsequently buried in the north. At any rate ,the book is an excellent read.

Gallant Indeed,
This review is from: Gallant Dead, The: Union and Confederate Generals Killed in the Civil War (Hardcover)
This is an excellant reference volume which reads as a narrative in chronological order of the deaths of Union and Confederate generals. Should be an essential reference work alongside of Welsh- Medical Histories of union/confederate generals and Warners Generals In Blue/Gray.
