The inside pages are actually still crisp and clean. The binding is tight and straight. Medium octavo book size or 6.5" x 9.5" with 417 pages.
Generals in Gray Lives of the Confederate Commanders by Ezra J. Warner contains biographical sketches of 425 Confederate generals along with a photo of each. The work was originally published in 1959 and followed up with the author's next work; Generals in Blue.
Generals in Gray is an exhaustive work, deeply researched, and corrects many previous errors in other works. The sketches give a concise outline of the careers of the generals with special attention to their war service. In addition, the book contains interesting summaries about the Southern leaders such as; 146 were West Point Grads - including all the full generals, two-thirds served in the U.S. Army in Mexico as far back as 1812. Yet it was a young man's war. Hood was a general at 33, the oldest was 48. Most were lawyers, but nearly 19% were killed in action. The photos were from private sources making them little known thus creating a unique portrait gallery.
