Though he had served with distinction during the Civil War, it was Porter Alexanders memoirs that have kept his name alive today. Though many prominent officers on both sides wrote memoirs, Porter Alexanders were among the most insightful and often considered by historians as the most evenhanded. With a sense of humor and a good narrative, Porter Alexander skillfully narrates the war, his service, and he isnt afraid to criticize officers, including Lee, when he thought they had made mistakes. As a result, historians continue to rely heavily on his memoirs as a source for Civil War history. Before he even wrote his memoirs, he wrote letters that were published in the Southern Historical Society, which kept a literary journal that helped develop the Lost Cause and became the clearinghouse for many Confederate writers after the war. In this letter, Porter Alexander narrates his account of the Battle of Petersburg. This edition of General Edward Porter Alexander at Fredericksburg is specially formatted with includes images of Porter Alexander and Fredericksburg.
