Confederate General D. H. Hill (Hartley-CA) csa Colors in this sock: navyby Chris J. Hartley Unlike most Civil War books published these days, here is something that is both original and essential. How a general of Hills stature escaped a full modern treatment until now is hard to understand. A lifetime spent embroiled in controversy makes Hills story a readers delight. This is a fine biography of an important man, skillfully executed by an extremely able historian. Robert E. L. Krick, author of The Battle of Gainess Mill
