Longstreet at Gettysburg
A Critical Reassessment
«Cory M. Pfarr provides the most detailed analysis to date of James Longstreet's actions at Gettysburg, the motivations of his postwar critics, and the manner in which bias against Longstreet has influenced histories of the battle down to the present day. This is a welcome addition to the historiography of the most studied military engagement in American history."" - William Garrett Piston, author of Lee's Tarnished Lieutenant; James Longstreet and his Place in Southern History
""About once each decade an honest work concerning James Longstreet is published. Cory Pfarr has this decade covered."" - Richard Pilcher, past president, the Longstreet Society.»
Not until now has a book-length, critical analysis of Lieutenant General James Longstreet's actions at the Battle of Gettysburg been presented, tracing his deeds, accomplishments, and shortcomings from pre-campaign through all three days of the fight, while also seeking to deliver an incisive historiographical inquiry into how many historians have inaccurately portrayed and misrepresented Longstreet's performance.

Not until now has a book-length, critical analysis of Lieutenant General James Longstreet's actions at the Battle of Gettysburg been presented, tracing his deeds, accomplishments, and shortcomings from pre-campaign through all three days of the fight, while also seeking to deliver an incisive historiographical inquiry into how many historians have inaccurately portrayed and misrepresented Longstreet's performance. A frank response to history's challenge for a penetrating analysis of Longstreet's actions at Gettysburg, this book endeavors to set the record straight about Longstreet's performance, while exposing over a century's worth of partial ideological ventures made by many scholars.
