McCowat-Mercer Press of Jackson TN specialized in “Monographs, Sources, and Reprints in Southern History.” During the period 1952-1969, the press reissued, in limited printings, a series of Confederate memoirs and histories, which had originally been published between the late-19th and mid-20th century, and which at the time were out of print. This is a volume in that series.
The Press selected for reprint memoirs that particularly represent the experiences of the ordinary people of the South. These accounts by common soldiers, subordinate officers, and civilians, provide rich insight to daily life on the southern side during the war, and share perspectives very different from those of the better-known histories by the top-rank political and military leaders.
The McCowat-Mercer reprints are edited by eminent historians and scholars, and are now rare and prized by Civil War specialists.
