GENERAL LEE’S IMMORTALS: The Battles and Campaigns of the Branch-Lane Brigade in the Army of Northern Virginia, 1861-1865

Speaker: MICHAEL C. HARDY

Michael Hardy’s General Lee’s Immortals is grounded on an impressive foundation of sources, which allows the men to speak for themselves as they describe time in camp, endless hardships, long marches, bloody battles, increasing hunger, and much more. This storied brigade served with Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia for its entire existence. These Tar Heels fought in nearly every major battle in the Eastern Theater, including the Seven Days’ Battles, Second Manassas, Sharpsburg (where Branch was killed), Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville (where its members mistakenly shot Stonewall Jackson), Gettysburg (including Pickett’s Charge), the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, North Anna, Cold Harbor, the Petersburg Campaign, and the final retreat to Appomattox.
