Our book club selection this month-thanks to me! Longstreet fascinates me because he was written out of my 50s and 60s Virginia history lessons by white southerner historians. When he showed up as a central figure in Killer Angels I had no idea who he was.
Longstreet simply fascinates me at so many levels. A combination of so many experiences, skills, humors, pains and courage. Deeply misunderstood but beloved. Tragic he has been forgotten by the modern mind.
Great talk! Thank you for opening to the public so everyone can access. gotta get the book now!!
Excellent interview.
This was a fantastic conversation.

Longstreet was so terrible to everyone except to Lee...the Longstreet hate is so bizarre
