Robert Campbell
Lone Star Confederate
A Gallant and Good Soldier of the Fifth Texas Infantry
Buch
Only eighteen when he marched off to war, young Confederate Robert Campbell already possessed the keen, perceptive eye of a seasoned journalist.

Only eighteen when he marched off to war, young Confederate Robert Campbell already possessed the keen, perceptive eye of a seasoned journalist. After fighting with the 5th Texas Infantry Regiment in the famed Hood's Texas Brigade, where he held the dubious distinction of being the most wounded man, Campbell recorded the first months of his service for the benefit of future generations. Now George Skoch and Mark W. Perkins bring Campbell's eyewitness accounts from the frontline to the public in Lone Star Confederate, a telling glimpse into a Johnny Reb's life. Campbell's tale begins with his introduction to the unit in Virginia and continues until his furlough home after he suffers a serious battle wound at Second Manassas. He praises Southern women who cared for soldiers along the railroad line from Richmond to Montgomery and recalls eating ten ears of green corn after three days of short rations and a hard day of fighting. The terrible conditions of battle--eating and sleeping too little, marching and drilling too much, cleaning weapons and standing watch in the rain and cold--are vividly real under Campbell's pen, which also praises Lee, Jackson, and other Confederate officers. Skoch and Perkins have supplemented the record of Campbell's wartime service with his letters written during and after the war. His remarkable firsthand account of life in the 5th Texas will find a permanent niche in the literature of the Civil War.
