Under the Southern Cross Soldier Life with Gordon Bradwell and the Army of Northern Virginia Pharris DeLoach Johnson, editor In his introduction to the classic Civil War book Company Aytch, historian Bell I. Wiley makes a pointed observation about soldiers' memoirs, "Most of these have only limited value either as history or literature, but a few stand out as exceptions to the general rule.” Fortunately, as readers learn from the pen of Pvt. Isaac Gordon Bradwell, his stirring narrative provides one such exception. The unforgettable events witnessed by an impressionable young Georgian originally found their way into print, piecemeal fashion, courtesy of the Confederate Veteran magazine. Long buried in the pages of this magazine's volumes, Bradwell's engaging and readable story is finally told in its entirety. Colonel Pharris DeLoach Johnson is a career logistics officer in the United States Air Force. A lifetime interest in military history and the American Civil War led him to extensive research on Georgia's Lawton-Gordon-Evans Brigade of the Army of Northern Virginia. Johnson has two other books to his credit, Evans County and the Creation of Ft. Stewart, Georgia and Bellville, Georgia—The First Hundred Years. Titles of related interest
