1880 Confederate 1^ed Advance & Retreat Army CIVIL WAR Memoirs of John Bell Hood

“Advance and Retreat” is a memoir by Confederate General John Bell Hood, detailing his experiences during the American Civil War. Written as a response to criticisms of his command style, the book offers insight into Hood’s aggressive leadership, which often led to significant troop casualties. Despite facing severe injuries in battles like Gettysburg and Chickamauga, Hood played pivotal roles in major campaigns, including the defense of Atlanta. Post-war, he transitioned to civilian life in Louisiana, only to face tragedy during a yellow fever outbreak. This work, supplemented with illustrations and a map, provides a fascinating personal view into the challenges of a divisive era in U.S. history.
