- On November 21, 2023 we hosted a special date-of-release event for Dr. Elizabeth Varon for her new biography Longstreet: The Confederate General Who Defied the South. Dr. Varon discusses the life of James Longstreet with Bjorn Skaptason of Abraham Lincoln Book Shop.
Great talk! Thank you for opening to the public so everyone can access. gotta get the book now!!
Our book club selection this month-thanks to me! Longstreet fascinates me because he was written out of my 50s and 60s Virginia history lessons by white southerner historians. When he showed up as a central figure in Killer Angels I had no idea who he was.
Excellent interview.
This was a fantastic conversation.
Longstreet simply fascinates me at so many levels. A combination of so many experiences, skills, humors, pains and courage. Deeply misunderstood but beloved. Tragic he has been forgotten by the modern mind.
Longstreet was so terrible to everyone except to Lee...the Longstreet hate is so bizarre
