Thank you so much for reading this account by General Hood. I write as a friend from England with a lifelong fascination for the American Civil War. Mainly because of the unbelievably horrendous sacrifices made by the common soldier on both sides...and World War 1 and 2 were still to come.

Totally agreed. I'm from Alabama and far from Great Britain though. Its amazing to hear these stories from Hood himself. I think they were recorded about 10 years after the wars end but they are still incredible. Its from the man himself so very good stuff! Its still hard for me to imagine fighting like these men did. I can only imagine how difficult it would have been for someone like me from the south fighting people just like me from the north. Truly brother against brother in so many ways.

I enjoyed hearing this,, My 4th great grand father was in McNair Division, 39th NC and I believe it was his division with some others that poured through the hole Federals made or left open during the battle. It was a total shame the Army of Tennessee got the defeats it did.. Most of it was do to bad lucky or some freak thing that happened to them.. Example Battle of Shiloh, with Johnson getting killed. Again, to me, a lot of unlucky events prevented them from winning battles they should have won.. By the way, I enjoy your reading of those events in history..

Excellent work and food for thought. Lee, Hood, Longstreet and the rest would have won the war if they had only had a fraction of the resources of the industrial North. I am not saying that would have been either a good or a bad thing, just a statement of fact. Thanks again from the UK.

@ Colin Harrison : Are you crazy? The South could never ever win the war. The minute they succeeded and the emancipation proclamation was enacted they were virtually surrounded from every angle. What resources would they with no labor? The South lost because break away territories always fight a bloody costly war in which success I s usually rate. I hate to read the South would have won if the war was fair. War is never fair. Lee sucked as a general. Rewrite really is bull shit. My taxes go up paying for your stupid southern ideas about the war would have been won if. Listen fool. The north was sick and tired of the South posturing for years. They were so ready to shut the South down. They would have fought onward and burned the South to the ground. They had had enough. Southern people are not Americans. They are a separate stupid race.

3:21 ". . . not one spoke in a sanglant tone . . ." "sanglant" is not defined in the major dictionaries. According to Wordnik, an internet dictionary, it is a heraldry term meaning "dripping blood." Is General Hood using the term in this sense in his memoir? If not, how is he attempting to characterize the other officer's manner of speaking?

Hood is a mystery to me, if one would tell me there were two General Hood that served in the CSA army I would readily belive it, it is certaintly not the same to command a brigade or division and to command a whole army, specially after the horrid wounds he suffered, but the divide between the before and the after of general Hood is like comparing day and night, heaven and hell, etc. one thing is for sure Davis blundered a lot when selecting some of his commanders, at least with Hood a previous history of competence gives him excuse but his constant trust in Bragg and Polk is just fault without excuse.
@shaneboardwell10605 жыл бұрын
He was a victim of the Peter Principle plain and simple. Likewise AP Hill and Ewell were fantastic division commanders but were mediocre at corps command. There is speculation that Hood was addicted to morphine while treating his grievous injuries and that probably impacted his decisions.

Hood was a brave fighter but lacked the qualities for theater command.
