Description

Peter Cozzens and Robert Girardi brought forth an invaluable new source with The Military Memoirs of General John Pope in 1998.

Union general John Pope was among the most controversial and misunderstood figures to hold major command during the Civil War. Collected here for the first time, Pope’s “War reminiscences” join a select roster of memoirs written by Civil War army commanders.

“John Pope has long been one of the pat caricatures of the Civil War. But now, the caricature is exploded through the surest mean of all: Pope’s own thoughtful, restrained memoirs-newly discovered. Pope’s literate observations are simultaneously interesting, refreshing, and important – a valuable lens on a troubled time, and a new look at a troubled man.” – John J. Hennessy.
