Kentuckians in
Gray is a one-of-a-kind resource book
for all those interested in Confederate generals born in
the the Bluegrass state. Profiled are thirty-nine
generals from the not-so-famous to those among the most
important Confederate generals in the Civil War. Each of
the generals listed below is the subject of a
medium-length (2,500 word) essay covering their family
background, education, pre-war activities, Civil War
service, and post-war lives. There is focused emphasis
on their war service.
After the large
section on Kentucky generals, forty more pages are devoted
to biographical blurbs of field officers of Kentucky CSA
units. Highlights are provided for one hundred twenty-six
Confederate field commanders from Colonel Robert Maxwell
Martin and Colonel Leroy Stuart Cluke to Colonel Robert P.
Trabue and Colonel William Preston Johnston. Many names
that resonate through the annals of Civil War history are
discussed in this work.
As you can see
below, the authors participating in this project are among
the most respected Civil War researchers writing today. The
contributors have authored many Civil War books preceding
this effort. Below I have listed each Confederate general
(in blue) and the responsible author in Kentuckians in Gray. I
have also provided a link to additional reading from the
contributing author.
