Description

'I can assure you, that the gallant hearts that throb beneath its sacred folds, will only be content, when this glorious banner is planted first and foremost in the coming struggle for our independence.' John Bell Hood. In the years following the Civil War a new war erupted in America, a war of words, with the men of both sides writing their memoirs and offering opinions on the recent conflict. While unfinished at the time of his death, in Advance and Retreat Hood sought to justify himself in response to what he deemed unfair treatment by J. E. Johnston and W. T. Sherman. From the outset Hood proved himself industrious and displayed conspicuous bravery in battle, and was quickly promoted to the command of the renowned Texas Brigade in 1862. A man who liked to lead from the front, Hood was severely wounded on two occasions in 1863, at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, where he would lose a limb. In 1864 he became the youngest man, Federal or Confederate, to command an army in the field, given the temporary rank of General. Driven along by communiqués and the considerable correspondence exchanged throughout the war, Hood's memoir adds another rich layer of understanding to the conflict that defined a nation. John Bell Hood (1831-79) graduated from West Point in 1853 and served in the U.S. Army until 1861. While his home state of Kentucky remained inactive, Hood resigned his commission to join the Confederates, in the service of his adopted state, Texas.
