John Letcher of Virginia


Book Description

This book is based on a thorough study of Letcher's personal papers including his diary. Before 1861, Letcher actively opposed secession, but when war came he served the Confederacy more loyally and ably. if less flamboyantly, than many more colorful and noisy southern patriots. The author highlights the drama and poignancy of the governor's dilemma - that of a moderate, sensible man confronted with high responsibilites at a time of crisis. The inner workings of Virginia politics are detailed with exceptional clarity.--Provided by publisher.
