Edward A. Pollard was one of the principle editors of the war-time Richmond Examiner. A staunch supporter of the Confederacy, Pollard was at the same time a ferocious and unrelenting critic of President Jefferson Davis. His four volume year-by-year history is required reading for anyone wishing to track southern political point-of-view while the conflict was raging. Pollard’s histories deserve a place on any serious Confederate shelf, alongside the post-war writings of President Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stephens, and the diaries memoirs of Mary Chesnut, Richard Taylor, James Longstreet et al.  [jp]
