“The Army of Virginia: From Cedar Mountain to Alexandria" by George H. Gordon

The Army of Virginia: From Cedar Mountain to Alexandria by George H. Gordon. Published in 1881 by Houghton, Mifflin and Company, in Boston, MA. 474pp.

A detailed and insightful account of the operations and battles of the Union Army of Virginia during a critical period of the American Civil War.

General George H. Gordon, who served as a brigadier general in this army, provides a firsthand narrative of the events, offering a unique perspective on the challenges and strategies that shaped the campaign.

The book focuses on the battles of Cedar Mountain, the Second Battle of Bull Run (Manassas), and the subsequent movements towards Alexandria, Virginia.

Gordon’s work is notable for its candid observations on the leadership, morale, and performance of the troops, as well as the decisions of key commanders such as General John Pope.

Includes three fold out maps and a large map folded and tucked into an envelope in the back. As you can see the book is in generally good condition and the maps are excellent. (Note that I only photographed two of the fold out maps and only part of the map in the back. They are all included.)
