Description
Based on extensive research this entertaining biography offers a vivid account of a significant player in the drive for southern independence. A leading exponent of light artillery companies, Major General John Bankhead Magruder was involved in nearly every major event of the Civil War era until he gave the last Confederate command of the war. A colorful, unorthodox figure he was called "Prince John" due to his great showmanship, ornate uniforms, and a raucous lifestyle that met with disfavor among some of his 19th-century associates. Magruder's list of famous acquaintances included Edgar Allen Poe, Thomas Jefferson, Robert E. Lee, Abraham Lincoln, and Mexican Emperor Maximilian.
