Lafayette of the South
Prince Camille de Polignac and the American Civil War
by Jeff Kinard
"The Confederate career of Prince Camille de Polignac - French aristocrat, professional military man, and soldier of fortune - has gone largely unnoticed because most of his service occurred in the relatively neglected western theater of the American Civil War.".
"In Lafayette of the South, Jeff Kinard reveals the distinguished but underappreciated life and career of Prince Camille de Polignac. Kinard follows Polignac through his early days, his dramatic years during the Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War, and the rest of his long, eventful life. Polignac died in 1913, holding the peculiar distinction of being the last Confederate major general and the only foreign national on either side to earn that rank."--BOOK JACKET.
