CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: From the Preface: "The action of the Corps of Cadets in the battle of New Market, while, undoubtedly, its most brilliant military exploit, was by no means the only active field service in which the cadets engaged during the War between the States; but it has overshadowed their other deeds to such an extent that most of them had been almost forgotten, even by the participants. It was to save these to history, and to record the great influence which Virginia's School of Arms bore upon the military career of the Confederate States of America, that this work was undertaken." REFERENCE: NEVINS I pg. 206: "Has stood the test of time as a comprehensive solid study of the south s most famous military school.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1223026
