-- Chronicles the life of an ambitious Pennsylvanian who fought for the Confederacy Biographer Herschel Gower eloquently traces the rise of Charles Dahlgren, brother of the famous Union admiral John A. Dahlgren, to social prominence in the pre-Civil War South. In search of glory, Dahlgren established himself in Natchez, Mississippi; married an heiress; started a family; and prospered. When Mississippi seceded from the Union, he defended his plantations, his ownership of slaves, and his hard-won security. Dahlgren's fortune evaporated with the fall of the Confederacy, and he returned to the North, where he died a Confederate carpetbagger. Readers interested in Southern history and the consequences of allegiance during the Civil War will be enthralled by Dahlgren's provocative story.
