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.

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.
