Generals in Bronze: Revealing interviews with the commanders of the Civil War. In the decades that followed the American Civil War, Artist James E. Kelly (1855-1933) conducted in-depth interviews with over forty Union Generals in an effort to accurately portray them in their greatest moment of glory. Kelly explained: “I had always felt a great lact of certain personal details. I made up my mind to ask from living officers every question I would have asked Washington or his generals had they posed for me, such as: What they considered the principal incidents in their career and particulars about costumes and surroundings.” During one interview session with Gen. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Kelly asked about the charge at Fort Damnation. Gen. Chamberlain acquiesced, but then added, “I don’t see how you can show this in a picture.” “Just tell me the facts,” Kelly responded, “and I’ll attend to the picture.” And by recording those stirring facts, Kelly left us not only his wonderful art, but a truly unique picture of the lives of the great figures of the American Civil War.

Not sure if it’s been made into an audiobook, but the editor of this collection Bill Styple is also the author of an intriguing book called “McClellan’s Other Story” where he rejects the typical framing of George B. McClellan as a well-meaning competent administrator whose most serious flaw was being too cautious and hesitant on the battlefield, instead framing McClellan as an airheaded narcissistic pretty-boy whose unwillingness to pursue a decisive victory against Robert E. Lee was less about a timid emotional temperament than an ideological sympathy for the South and hostility to abolitionism, and whose important political decisions (including his decision after being fired by Lincoln to run for president in 1864 on a platform of compromise with the Confederacy) were largely made for him by his close advisor and éminence grise, a Cincinnati lawyer and scion of a wealthy Kentucky slaveowning family named Thomas Marshall Key.
