Title: A superbly presented work of meticulous scholarship
Review: Charles Dahlgren Of Natchez: The Civil War And Dynastic Decline by Herschel Gower (Professor Emeritus of English and American Literature, Vanderbilt University) is the true-life biography of Charles Dahlgren, an energetic Northerner with ambition both during and after the American Civil War. Pitted against his brother when the nation of America tore itself apart, Dahlgren sought to found a dynasty in the south but endured crushing losses in battle. His turbulent life and times make for fascinating reading in this carefully researched, up close and personal account. Charles Dahlgren Of Natchez is a superbly presented work of meticulous scholarship and is especially recommended to students of the post-Civil War era of reconstruction.
