To the manner born: the life of General William H. T. Walker
Confederate General William H. T. Walker (1816-1864) is best known as an archetypal Southern firebrand, one who gave no ground in matters of honor and who recklessly sought glory in battle. To be sure, that image is true; however, argues Russell K. Brown, there is more to the soldier and the man

| Zusammenfassung: | Confederate General William H. T. Walker (1816-1864) is best known as an archetypal Southern firebrand, one who gave no ground in matters of honor and who recklessly sought glory in battle. To be sure, that image is true; however, argues Russell K. Brown, there is more to the soldier and the man This first complete biography of Walker considers not only his upbringing and other early influences but also his personality, family life, goals and ambitions, and military career, which spanned the Seminole, Mexican, and Civil wars and included service as commandant of cadets at West Point Drawing on personal papers, official documents, and eyewitness accounts, Brown portrays a man driven by pride and financial ambition, but nearly incapacitated by persistent ill health complicated by war wounds. Walker is seen squabbling with his peers and superiors; chafing at the dullness of the peacetime military; grieving over the deaths of his children; and advising his wife and oldest daughter on proper decorum |
