Description

On this number of well-written and lucid essays, the life, career, and affect of Irish Major General Patrick R. Cleburne is definitively reassessed. A Meteor Shining Brightly corrects inaccuracies in published accounts of Cleburne’s life, and explores aspects of Cleburne’s life that made him unique among Civil War generals.

This number of essays by more than a few historians covers Cleburne’s life from his immigration as a young man to the USA, his experiences becoming a self-made man in Arkansas, and how he joined the Confederate Army to defend the state in which he and his circle of relatives had been given a fresh start. His rise through the ranks used to be limited because he had advocated arming slaves to reinforce the Confederate cause. He died all over an unattainable charge on Franklin, Tennessee and Jefferson Davis honored him with the nickname, “Stonewall of the West.”
