1.Personal Memoirs of U. S. GrantPersonal Memoirs of U. S. Grant
from Dover Publications
Price: $3.98

Customer Review:
Ulysses S. Grant was a humble man, and his book is extremely honest. Readers will be hard-pressed to find one word of embellishment or bragging. While there are many fascinating sections to this book, Grant's explanation of the Fugitive Slave act as the trigger of the war (they made the Northerners... more info

from National Geographic
Price: $17.95

Customer Review:
I decided to buy "Eyewitnesses to the Civil War" based on the reviews - and am very glad I did. Found a new copy from an Amazon-affiliated dealer for under $10.00, which is a wonderful deal for a nice coffee table book of over 400 pages, filled with interesting Civil War articles and 375 photos of... more info

3.Memoirs (Penguin Classics)Memoirs (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $11.01

Customer Review:
W T Sherman, General, U S Army was a most impresive commander. His memoirs go a long way in explaining some of the 'whys' of the great campaigns he led. And lead he did. The general went so far, on occason, as to eschew use of a tent and slept on the ground with his men using only a tent-half. The... more info

4.Mary Chesnut s Civil WarMary Chesnut's Civil War
from Yale University Press
Price: $8.89

Customer Review:
I bought this book while at the Lookout Mountain battle site in Chattanooga. If you watched the PBS Civil War series, you will recognize Mary Chesnut's name.
This is a annotated compilation of her original diaries. Her husband was high up in Jefferson Davis' cabinet, so there are all sorts of... more info

5.Reading the Man: A Portrait of Robert E. Lee Through His Private LettersReading the Man: A Portrait of Robert E. Lee Through His Private Letters
from Viking Adult
Price: $0.71

Customer Review:
I read this book on Gen. Lee thinking it would be a lot of more of the same about how "godlike" Lee was and how he had no faults, no human frailties. How he committed no mistakes in war, how he completely out outmaneuvered every Federal General. This book brings Gen. Lee to Earth. He is shown as a... more info

6.Fighting for the Confederacy: The Personal Recollections of General Edward Porter AlexanderFighting for the Confederacy: The Personal Recollections of General Edward Porter Alexander
from The University of North Carolina Press
Price: $17.05

Customer Review:
'Fighting for the Confederacy' is one of the more fascinating personal accounts from the Confederate point of view ever written. If E. Porter Alexander said something happened a certain way it probably happened that way. In Porter Alexander's book there is just a great amount of fascinating... more info

7.The Civil War Memoirs of Ulysses S. GrantThe Civil War Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant
from Forge Books
Price: $49.95

Customer Review:
The civil war memoirs of Ulysses Hiram Grant (U.S.. Grant) is very instructive. Somewhat drawn out and lacks much personality. However, I can imagine this book reflects Grants drab emotions but intense life.
Knowing that life didn't treat him well outside of the Military gives us hope that... more info

8.Lakota Noon: The Indian Narrative of Custer s DefeatLakota Noon: The Indian Narrative of Custer's Defeat
from Mountain Press Publishing Company
Price: $79.98

Customer Review:
I read this after reading "A Terrible Glory" and was amazed that so much Native American testimony of the battle is available, even if it is fragmentary, contradictory, and often given decades after the events they describe. Some of the Native veterans of this battle were still alive in the 1940s... more info

9. Bayonet! Forward : My Civil War Reminiscences"Bayonet! Forward": My Civil War Reminiscences
from Stan Clark Military Books
Price: $16.32

Customer Review:
Nothing beats Chamberlain in his own words. He's the measure of a man to me. Just great stuff, his prose lures you in and before you know it, you've read 30 pages. Great, moving stuff.

10.Maryland Voices of the Civil WarMaryland Voices of the Civil War
from The Johns Hopkins University Press
Price: $20.50

Customer Review:
I've often wondered what Maryland looked, sounded and felt like during the Civil War. Now I know. Charles W. Mitchell has brought it all to life in a superb, unique book that vividly describes the struggle, emotion, bitterness and grief of that conflict, straight from the written words of those who... more info
