Average autobiography, overall. His coverage of some battles is somewhat superficial, which is to be expected because of his somewhat low level rank (brigade command, as opposed to corps). Also, his coverage of the Valley campaign is weak. It's obvious that he shifts some of the blame for his defeats to other sources.

As a writer he makes a great general. Really rambles. I've been reading this thing since 2005.
