During the Civil War’s pivotal 1863 summer British Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Fremantle visited the Confederacy for three months. He entered Texas from Mexico on April 7, 1863. Fourteen weeks later he left New York to return to Britain. During the interval he visited every Confederate state except Florida and Arkansas. Along the way he called on more than a dozen Confederate leaders including Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis. He was an observer at the battle of Gettysburg where he is popularly remembered as a character in Michael Shaara’s, "The Killer Angels." During the final two days of his journey in New York he witnessed the draft riots.  Throughout his 2,500-mile trip he maintained a diary, averaging 750 words daily.  Owing to his neutrality, top-level access, and extensive travel, Fremantle’s observations are priceless. On such topics as slavery, race, civilian life, gender experience, wartime travel, combat, politics, and leadership his diary paints an insightful and sometimes iconoclastic picture.   While he met an impressive number of leaders many are only dimly remembered today. Additionally he met some of the prominent ones when they focused on obscure matters. At other times he observed major events as they were developing and thereby failed to understand the significance of what he witnessed. Philip Leigh's 178 annotations and the added illustrations in this volume provide background on the obscure characters, explain the little-known incidents, and put Fremantle’s observations in proper context.

Three Months in the Southern States: an officer of the Coldstream Guards' Observations of the Confederate Army on Campaign During the American Civil War

A British soldier's view of the great conflict of blue and greyThe author of this book has, perhaps, achieved more renown in recent years than at any time since the publication of his literary efforts. Those familiar with the film, 'Gettysburg' will recall the unusual figure of a British Guards officer attired (inaccurately) in his full dress Guardsman's scarlet uniform among the ranks of the Virginians at the famous and pivotal battle. The cinema may have taken its usual liberties, but the character was firmly based in fact and was none other than the author of this book. The British Empire felt no need to come down strongly on either side of the conflict between the States, but its support for the Confederacy was both implicit and occasionally obvious. Fremantle wanted to see the war at first hand and so he travelled to America and accompanied the Confederate forces-actually unglamorously in mufti-in the field. His experiences brought him to the collision of Gettysburg and history is indebted to Fremantle for the observations of a comparatively impartial military man on these monumental times and events. Essential Civil war material.
