Summary

Richard Ewell was one of the Confederacy’s strangest and most controversial generals. Aggressive under Stonewall Jackson, respected by Robert E. Lee, and badly wounded before Gettysburg, Ewell suddenly found himself commanding Jackson’s old corps during the most important campaign of the war. This is the full story of the man remembered for the order he never gave.
