Simon Bolivar Buckner

Borderland Knight

About this book

Trained at West Point, Buckner saw service in the Mexican War but retired to private life afterwards. With the outbreak of the Civil War, he became a general in the Confederate army. In the troublesome years following the war, he served as governor of Kentucky. Cultured, courtly, unostentatious, Buckner was the Borderland Knight, truly great in his simplicity.-Print ed.
