He was involved in nearly all of the great battles of the East, from First Manassas through Appomattox; on the second day at Gettysburg, Alexander's battalion executed one of the greatest artillery charges of the war; Longstreet relied upon him for reconnaissance, and Stonewall Jackson wanted him made an infantry general.\u003cbr\u003eAlexander wrote two books: a personal memoir intended for his children, which remained unnoticed until 1989, when it was published to enormous critical acclaim as \u003ci\u003eFighting for the Confederacy;\u003c\/i\u003e and this book, \u003ci\u003eMilitary Memoirs of a Confederate, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich was first published in 1907 and immediately recognized as a classic.
