His commentaries on military activity, coupled with his husbandly advice and affection, reveal the humanity of the man who was perhaps the most distinguished North Carolina commander.
Originally published in 1965.
(A new edition of this 1965 book, with an introduction by Brian Wills, was published in 1999 under the title One of Lee's Best Men: The Civil War Letters of General William Dorsey Pender--also available from UNC Press.)
