The author of this book, Arthur James Lyon Fremantle, has, perhaps, achieved more renown in recent years than at any time since the publication of his literary efforts. Those familiar with the film Gettysburg will recall the unusual figure of a British Guards officer attired (inaccurately) in his full dress Guardsman's scarlet uniform among the ranks of the Virginians at the famous and pivotal battle. The cinema may have taken its usual liberties, but the character was firmly based in fact and was none other than the Fremantle himself. The British Empire felt no need to come down strongly on either side of the conflict between the States, but its support for the Confederacy was both implicit and occasionally obvious. Fremantle wanted to see the war at first hand and so he traveled to America and accompanied the Confederate forces-actually unglamorously in mufti-in the field. His experiences brought him to the collision of Gettysburg, and history is indebted to Fremantle for the observations of a comparatively impartial military man on these monumental times and events.… (més)

Like it or not, Fremantle was a witness to history. And you won't like it if you suffer from a Government education. But if you're an Honest Yankee like myself you'll gradually realize that all you learned in high school isn't all there is to learn about the War Between the States. Fremantle supposedly was an anti-slavery English soldier who came over here while on leave from his military duties. He entered the US from Mexico, and spent three months working his way through the Confederacy meeting many of the major players; and crossed into the North right at the time of the Battle of Gettysburg. Along with =Baltimore and the Nineteenth of April, 1861: A Study of the War=, it is my favorite among the primary sources I have for that time. ( )

Colonel Fremantle's diary can be kind of slow-going until about the midpoint, with endless accounts of his traveling arrangements and thoughts on how noble the Southerners are (as opposed to those despicable Northerners). But his account of being at Gettysburg with Lee's troops - the getting there and getting ready, the battles, and the leave-taking - is well worth reading for his eyewitness account and on-the-spot commentary.

This is a great book for lover's of history. Essentially Fremantle's diary during his visit to the Confederacy, it's filled with accounts of his adventures and interactions with southerners and soldiers. There are many opportunities for laughter as you read, though it can be somewhat slow at the beginning. It also provides a unique, unbiased, perspective on the beliefs and mindset of Southerners during the War for Southern Independence. ( )

Very enjoyable. Quick read but also a good view of how the south suffered through the war. Lt. Col Fremantle spend 5 months in the states visiting the Confederate states from Texas to Virginia. He accompanied Lee and Longstreet as an observer at Gettysburg. Because of his relationship and experiences he became bias towards the south. The book was very popular during the Civil War. It was printed in England and shipped to the states. ( )
