Soldiering in the Army of Northern Virginia

"In this ... quantitative study, Joseph T. Glatthaar provides a comprehensive narrative and statistical analysis of many key aspects of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia ... While gathering research materials for [another project] Glatthaar compiled quantative data on the background and service of 600 randomly selected soldiers - 150 artillerists, 150 cavalrymen, and 300 infantrymen - affording him ... insight into the pre-war and wartime experience of Lee's troops ... While confirming much of what is believed about the army, Glatthaar's evidence [presented in this volume] challenges some conventional thinking in significant ways ... and provides a broader and fuller portrait of the men who served under General Lee"--Jacket.
