Description:A grandson of Thomas Jefferson born into the First Families of Virginia, George Wythe Randolph rose from the quietude of Richmond's legal and literary circles in the winter of 1861-62 to take the rank of brigadier general in the Confederate army. He proved himself a natural leader of men – cosmopolitan, dynamic, intelligent – and by the spring of '62, his success on the battlefield led to his appointment as Confederate secretary of war. As administrator of the War Department, Randolph created and managed a war economy for the Southern republic, in addition to raising and feeding armies. Even after his resignation, following a celebrated squabble with Jefferson Davis, Randolph's reforms enable the Confederacy to fight against desperate odds.In George Wythe Randolph and the Confederate Elite George Shackelford reveals an unusual individual – a sophisticated and articulate man who mastered the art of logistics. In the annals of the Civil War, George Wythe Randolph has been a hazy figure, in part due to fires which destroyed his personal and official papers. Unearthing from family collections a wealth of new archival materials, Shackelford reveals Randolph's crucial role in discovering a technocratic elite to run the war economy. In so doing, he wins for Randolph a place in American history – as a man of invention and organizational skill unique in Civil War America.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
