Recollections of a Confederate Staff Officer by General G. Moxley Sorrel was originally published in 1905. The memoir takes readers inside the workings of the Confederate Army staff. Sorrel was a relatively unknown officer who rose to become Gen. Longstreet's most trusted associate. The book simply relates what Sorrel saw and experienced. There is no grand strategy analysis. But, his vantage point was unique as Longstreet brought him right into the thick of decisive engagements. He was at First Manassas and promoted at Petersburg. He saw action at Sharpsburg and Gettysburg. When Longstreet was wounded at the Wilderness, Sorrel was at his side. Sorrel was himself wounded at Hatcher's Run and when he prepared to return to service, Lee was surrendering at Appomattox.
