Fremantle, Englishman, views with disgust the bullying tactics of the American North; and he extols the esprit de corps of the men and women of the South. In the spring of 1863, his allegiance fixed, the Colonel takes leave from the British Army for an adventurous view of the ongoing Civil War. Here is his full, exuberant diary. Traveling by boat, train, horse, carriage and foot, often with the most colorful of road companions, Colonel Fremantle encounters everywhere the effects of distant war or actual battle: the lynching of a Mexican outlaw, the involvement of the ironclads, the carnage at Gettysburg. Yet he spends congenial hours in the company of the most highly esteemed members of Southern society, including President Jefferson Davis and the principal general officers. To these he applies a ready, frank assessment of physical bearing, personal manner, reputation among the soldiers, and perspective on the military lay of the land. Colonel Fremantle's racing, spicy commentary extends to everything his sight beholds. His sharp insight combines with broad compassion and a keen sense of the absurd to create a masterful account.
