About the Author

John Brown Gordon (February 6, 1832 - January 9, 1904) was one of Robert E. Lee's most trusted Confederate generals by the end of the American Civil War. After the war, he was a strong opponent of Reconstruction during the late 1860s. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as a U.S. Senator from 1873 to 1880, and again from 1891 to 1897. He also served as the 53rd Governor of Georgia from 1886 to 1890.
