French Harding: Civil War Memoirs
Edited by Victor L. Thacker
Trade paperback, 268 pages.
Salutation and signed.
Published 2000 (Third printing, 2002)
Written by a man respected by his friends and his foes, these memoirs reveal life as a company commander and the author’s passion and intelligence. Integrity and courage mark French Harding’s career as a soldier. His aggressive, sometimes heroic, behavior on the battlefield carried over to the concern he showed for the men in his company. Conflicts with the colonel of the 31st Virginia Infantry Regiment led to Captain Harding’s arrest in November 1863. He resigned and immediately joined the 20th Virginia Calvary.
