1894 CSA Maury Civil War Recollections Mexican-American War Navajo Indians Texas

 

Dabney Herndon Maury was a 19^th-century American Army general who published a memoir of his experiences in war focusing on the American Civil War and Mexican-American War. In this book, Maury describes his life at West Point, anecdotes from notable American generals – Grant, McClellan, and Jackson – and the differences in their commanding styles, a biographical sketch of Stonewall Jackson, his experience big game hunting in Texas, skirmishes with Indians and Navajo tribes, and much more!

 

According to Nevins, this work is

“the product of a professional soldier and scholar, these reminiscences pertain to the war along the Gulf and in the Trans-Mississippi.”

 

Larned notes,

“Maury’s ‘Recollections’ are even broader than his title-page indicates, for some of his pleasantest chapters, showing a natural gift for narrative, are those which tell of his boyhood.”
