Reviews
"An engaging and exhaustively researched biography of an important and intriguing, though rarely studied, Confederate leader."--Kirkus Reviews
"Son of a president, plantation aristocrat, distinguished soldier, and author of an oft-quoted memoir, Richard Taylor epitomized much of what was the Southern Confederacy. Michael Parrish has not merely assembled a wealth of information on Taylor; in this long-needed biography, Parrish has as well caught the excitement and the achievements of Taylor as no previous writer ever has."--James I. Robertson, Jr., Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
"Richard Taylor has long been a neglected Confederate hero. In Richard Taylor: Soldier Prince of Dixie, T. Michael Parrish at last gives Taylor his due. . . . This is good biography and fine military history. Especially valuable are the sections on Taylor's service in the Trans-Mississippi Confederacy and his heroic efforts to sustain the South during the last months of war."--Frank E. Vandiver, Texas A&M University
