Description: Lee's Young Artillerist looks at Pegram as a case study to explore the worldview of slaveholders in the antebellum South.
Review Quotes:
The author's prose has the spirit to pull the reader into the life of a young officer who believed passionately in the justice of his cause. For those of us who live in a time when 'duty' and 'honor' are words without meaning to many, Pegram's example from another day is refreshingly reassuring.
