Generals in Blue and Generals in Gray
Unsurpassed since their publication fifty years ago, Ezra J. Warner’s Generals in Blue and Generals in Gray provide a complete guide to the military leadership of both the North and the South and remain the most exhaustive and celebrated work on the Civil War’s generals. In commemoration of the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, Warner’s magnum opus, featuring concise, detailed biographical sketches and photographs of all 425 Confederate and 583 Union generals, is available, for the first time, as a hardcover boxed set of both volumes. Through tireless research and captivating detail, Warner provides fascinating insight into these commanders, well known and obscure, from the legendary Union general George Custer to the youngest brigadier in the Confederate Army, William Paul Roberts, only nineteen years of age in 1861. Hailed by scholars and critics as two of the most indispensable books on the American Civil War, Warner’s work offers the only comprehensive reference of the men who led over three million soldiers in the most divisive and bloodiest war in American history.

Biographical Register of the Confederate Congress
Modeled after Ezra J. Warner's two earlier books, Generals in Gray and Generals in Blue, the volume contains an introduction describing the makeup of the Confederate Congress, biographical sketches of the congressmen, and a substantial bibliography. Each biographical sketch includes the place and date of birth, family background, education, means of livelihood, politics, public service record, and degree of financial and political success of each congressman by 1860. The authors describe each individual's participation in (or his opposition to) secession and detail the circumstances of his election to the Confederate Congress. A prominent section of each sketch is devoted to each man's activities in the Congress: his position on the major issues before Congress, his chief interest and the measures he sponsored, and the reason he left the Congress. Then, the authors attempt to pick up the lives of each congressman after the Civil War. The sketches include the place and date of death of each man, as well as the place of burial. Anyone interested in Civil War history will find Biographical Register of the Confederate Congress an indispensable reference.
