Msftedit 5.41.21.2510; You are considering a hardcover book, with DJ, WORTHY OPPONENTS GENERAL WILLIAM T. SHERMAN, U.S.A. GENERAL JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON, C.S.A. by Edward G. Longacre; PUBLISHER: Rutledge Hill Press, TN; a 2006 printing; 392 pages. “You and I became reconciled in April 1865, and] have remained so since. . . . All others] who are willing to be reconciled can do it by simply becoming good American citizens.” William T. Sherman in a letter to Joseph E. Johnston. It was the most trying time of the United States’ young history. Families suffered as their fathers and young men, often mere boys, went off to war. Soldiers were slain by the tens of thousands in brutal battles and entire towns were reduced to rubble and ashes. America was split in two. But in the face of this horrific Civil War, friendships and lifelong bonds were forgedeven across the lines of battle. “Worthy Opponents” is the parallel stories of two key leaders: Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston and Union General William Tecumseh Sherman. After their armies clashed repeatedly, it was only natural for these two commanding offers to become adversaries. Yet as the war wore on, Johnston and Sherman came to respect each other. After the war they became close firends. In “Worthy Opponents,” award-winning author and Civil War historian Edward G. Longacre masterfully investigates the intertwining lives and careers of these two celebrated generals. He brings to life their personalities, their military styles, their history, and their ultimate respect and friendship in a readable and fascinating dual biography. Condition: Has minor DJ wear.

A DIFFERENT VALOR THE STORY OF GENERAL JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON, C.S.A. By Gilbert E. Govan and James W. Livingood SIGNED BY BOTH AUTHORS FIRST EDITION NEAR FINE + CONDTION A Significant, Well-Researched Biography Wonderful Illustrations, Photos and Maps Original, Clean, Solidly-Bound, Antique Book PUBLISHED BY BOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY, INC., INDIANAPOLIS AND NEW YORK, IN 1956 Out-of-Print Book This first edition book constituts a full account of the Confederate commander second only to Lee, enormously respected by his opponents but heartily disliked by Jefferson Davis – a patriot at great personal cost. For many years Joe Johnston has been given far less than his due as a Confederate hero and able, devoted leader. He was a patriot willing to serve in spite of the handicap of a poor relationship with Jefferson Davis. Some argue that, against the best Union commanders, Johnston’s military record matches that of Lee with neither Grant nor Sherman able to pin him down even with almost double the force. But Sherman was never so successful in concealing his intention from Johnston as Grant was from Lee in his move to Petersburg. Johnston puzzled Sherman at Cassville, something Lee never did to Grant. And certainly in July 1864 the Army of Tennessee was in better fighting condition that the Army of Northern Virginia. Against the gifted Sherman, Johnston fought for 75 days over almost 100 miles of rugged terrain without one mistake of which Sherman could take advantage. This wonderful biography was encouraged by the late Dr. Douglas Freeman as he suggested Johnston had more to do with Jackson’s Valley campaign than is generally believed. Among the many discoveries of the authors are letters to Jackson and Ewell confirmed Freeman’s conjecture. Another is that the scorched-earth policy which made Sherman hated originated in Washington. The most important is Mrs. Johnston’s revelation that she urged her husband not to join the confederacy in 1861 because Davis hated him and would ruin him.
