Confederate Military History of Florida Florida during the Civil War, 1861-1865
ITEM DESCRIPTION:Confederate Military History of Florida, written by Florida's flamboyant cavalry commander J. J. Dickison, traces the political and military events in the Confederacy's least-populated state during the American Civil War. It begins with the secession of the Florida in January 1861 and continues through the actions at Santa Rosa Island, the Battle of Olustee, and the engagement at Natural Bridge. It also includes all the smaller, yet just as important, engagements and skirmishes that occurred in Florida between 1861 and the final surrender in 1865. Florida regiments composed one brigade each in the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of Tennessee and fought in all the major battles in both theaters of war, often in the thickest of the fighting. Dickison details the history of each regiment sent out of state to fight, as well as the infantry, cavalry, and artillery units that stayed in Florida to defend their home state. Originally published as part of the Confederate Military History series edited by former Confederate General Clement A. Evans. ISBN: 1932157093
