Book Description
John Adams is best remembered as one of the four Confederate generals who lay on the porch of the Carnton House, dead, when the Battle of Franklin ended on December 1, 1864. Unfortunately he did not leave much in the way of personal papers, and this biography has been pieced together from Army records and other sources, including accounts of his contemporaries. Adams's career in the U.S. Army gives us a good look at the military, the concept of Manifest Destiny, and the relations with those conquered by the Army, the Indians. This book also considers one of the more debated topics in Civil War history: why did a man who served the United States for most of his life resign his commission and side with the Confederacy?

Book Description
Confederate brigadier general John Adams refused to leave his men despite his own critical injuries and died at the Battle of Franklin. Until recently, his service was rarely acknowledged. During his remarkable military career, he traversed the country from Tennessee to New York, Mexico to Maryland and then to California. Adams trained and rode alongside some of the most celebrated commanders of the Confederate army, but his greatest feat remains his unwavering devotion to his men and the Confederate cause in his home state of Tennessee. Bryan W. Lane follows Adams's rise in the military ranks until his inevitable fall at one of the most important battles of the Civil War.

Book Description
Confederate Brigadier General John Adams died at the Battle of Franklin leading a desperate, doomed assault. Recognized as a hero by his peers, he is largely forgotten today. In his life he rode with Kit Carson, roomed with his friend George Pickett, and graduated with Stonewall Jackson. His actions at the Battle of Franklin have been described as "the grandest performance of the war." He was born in Tennessee, graduated from West Point, served first the United States as a dragoon, and then joined the Confederate States in the War of the Rebellion. He traveled from Tennessee to New York, from Mexico to Minnesota and Maryland to California before coming home to the south to serve and die in Dixie, within yards of the most familiar road of his life.

Book Description
Although a great deal has been written concerning every important aspect of the Civil War itself, with a few notable exceptions little attention has been given to the personal lives of the 961 generals who commanded the Union and Confederate armies. This book offers a wealth of comparative biographical data on these men in a convenient form that will serve the purposes of both academic researchers and Civil War buffs.
