The Confederate Generals are forty-four southern military leaders whose individual contributions in the Civil War become a unique accounting of that tragic conflict. The coming of war placed these men in mortal combat with family members, best friends and classmates. The scene might well have occurred at a “summit” of the leaders of the military Confederacy, though such an event would have been unlikely with the casualties of war and politics. The stories behind each soldier did, indeed, happen . The generals are standing on the steps in front of a stately old ivy-covered stone building with the Confederate Seal imbedded in the wall. It could be a memorial in the cemetery at Lexington. A door opening onto a distant scene of the mountains of Virginia where most of the great battles were waged presents the light of hope and enlightenment beneath the draped flags of the Confederacy. It is in their experiences, their struggles and passions from Fort Sumter to Appomattox, that the defining war of the United States, from the southern side can be examined.
