The Odyssey of a Southerner
The Odyssey of a Southerner, an interpretive biography of Gustavus Woodson Smith, takes a look at a life that spanned almost seventy-five years of the 19th century. The focus of this book lies in Smith's activity in the Civil War. Jefferson Davis's commission of Smith as a major general called attention to the problems of the Confederate system of appointments which made a sick man of unproven competence the second in command of the Confederate Army of the Potomac. Hudson uses a wide variety of sources including manuscript collections, government documents, official records, and newspapers to recreate the life of Smith.
Generals Johnston and Beauregard at Manassas (Abridged, Annotated)
In this long-forgotten but fascinating little book, former Confederate General Gustavus W. Smith took on one of the lions of the Rebel cause: his former superior, Joseph E. Johnston. It is Johnston's written treatment of the first Battle of Manassas (known by the Union forces as the 1st Battle of Bull Run) that Gustavus objected to and he laid out what he felt was compelling evidence that Johnston's attempt to enlarge his own role at the expense of G.T. Beauregard's was wrong.From the official records of both Johnston and Beauregard and the testimony of others, as well as his own witnessing of events as a brigadier-general, Smith defends Beauregard and asks that history award him his due for the Confederate victory at Manassas.

His commentary also provides interesting insights into the early careers of future Civil War generals - Lee, Beauregard, Pemberton, and McClellan. The narrative is a striking testament to the impact of West Point-trained officers on the course of the war and to the effectiveness of Winfield Scott's army."--BOOK JACKET.
