'I can assure you, that the gallant hearts that throb beneath its sacred folds, will only be content, when this glorious banner is planted first and foremost in the coming struggle for our independence.' John Bell Hood. In the years following the Civil War a new war erupted in America, a war of words, with the men of both sides writing their memoirs and offering opinions on the recent conflict. While unfinished at the time of his death, in Advance and Retreat Hood sought to justify himself in response to what he deemed unfair treatment by J. E. Johnston and W. T. Sherman. From the outset Hood proved himself industrious and displayed conspicuous bravery in battle, and was quickly promoted to the command of the renowned Texas Brigade in 1862. A man who liked to lead from the front, Hood was severely wounded on two occasions in 1863, at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, where he would lose a limb. In 1864 he became the youngest man, Federal or Confederate, to command an army in the field, given the temporary rank of General. Driven along by communiqués and the considerable correspondence exchanged throughout the war, Hood's memoir adds another rich layer of understanding to the conflict that defined a nation. John Bell Hood (1831-79) graduated from West Point in 1853 and served in the U.S. Army until 1861. While his home state of Kentucky remained inactive, Hood resigned his commission to join the Confederates, in the service of his adopted state, Texas.

Excerpt from Advance and Retreat: Personal Experiences in the United States and Confederate States Armies Infantry. I sailed from New York in November of that year to join my regiment in California, Via Panama. On my arrival at San Francisco - at that time a small city built upon sandhills and ats, and distinguished for its foggy atmosphere I, together with one of my classmates, deemed it but proper that Officers of the United States Army should go to the hotel in a carriage; but to our astonishment, on hailing a driver, we found the charge to be twenty dollars in gold. This aspect of affairs - our pay being only about Sixty dollars a month compelled us to hold consultation with our brother officers and to adopt the only alternative: to proceed on foot to what ever quarters we desired to occupy.

John Bell Hood was one of the most notorious Confederate generals of the Civil War, arguably the best division commander in the Army of Northern Virginia and also arguably the worst overall army commander of the Confederacy. The big Texan and his brigade were crucial at Antietam, and he fought hard and was injured at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, but when he took over the Army of Tennessee in 1864, he made disastrous decisions that wrecked the army at Franklin and Nashville. Hood died in 1879, fairly shortly after the war, but his generalship was so controversial that he felt compelled to defend it in a hastily written memoirs. In addition to talking about his own experiences, it rebuts General Joseph E. Johnston's writings, as the two men traded blame over the Atlanta campaign against Union general William Tecumseh Sherman.

The following account of the author's experiences as a private soldier in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War records only the ordinary career of an ordinary Confederate soldier. It does not treat campaigns, army maneuvers, or plans of battles, but only of the daily life of a common soldier, and of such things as fell under his limited observation.
