Description

Worthy of the Cause for Which They Fight chronicles the experiences of a well-educated and articulate Confederate officer from Arkansas who witnessed the entire evolution of the Civil War within the Trans-Mississippi Department and western theater. Daniel Harris Reynolds, a community leader with a thriving law practice in Chicot County, entered service in 1861 as a captain in control of Company A of the First Arkansas Mounted Rifles. Reynolds saw action at Wilson’s Creek and Pea Ridge before the regiment was once dismounted and transferred to the Army of Tennessee, the principle Confederate force within the western theater. As Reynolds fought in the course of the battles of Chickamauga, Atlanta, Nashville, and Bentonville, he consistently kept a diary during which he described the harsh realities of battle, the shifting fortunes of war, and the personal and political conflicts that characterized and from time to time divided the soldiers. The result is a significant testimonial offering valuable insights into the nature of command from the company to brigade levels, expressed by a committed Southerner coming to grips with the realities of defeat and without equal demoralization of give up.
