Col. Arthur Fremantle was a British officer who made a most extraordinary journey across the South in he pivotal year of 1863. Intent on seeing what he could of the War, he visited the department commanders in every region. The intrepid Fremantle met Magruder, Smith, Johnston, Bragg, Beauregard, Jefferson Davis, and finally Lee, catching up with the Army of Northern Virginia just before Gettysburg. His observations of Gettysburg are notable for the reactions of various commanders to the disaster of Pickett's Charge. After Gettysburg, Fremantle journeyed through the Union lines into New York City, where he witnessed the famous Draft Riots. He put his memoirs into print the following year with some hope to influence British opinions about the War. This book has been formatted and edited for Tall Men Books. It is not a facsimile reprint.
