Overview

Federal Brigadier General William Haines Lytle was a poet, Civil War soldier, lawyer, orator, friend, beloved brother, jilted lover, flirt, drunk, unfocused talent and sometimes genius. He produced at least one beautiful poem that lives on to this day. This full biography of the Union Brigadier General gives ample attention to the three battles in which he fought, but does not neglect to explore his relationships with family, friends, and lovers. Talented, charming, and well-liked, even by his enemies, Lytle was a cultured gentleman who made friends easily. At the same time, he was also devoted to his troops and a fearless warrior on the battlefield. Drawing on Lytle's own written words, the words of his family, newspaper correspondents and other primary sources, this painstakingly researched and well-illustrated biography paints a detailed portrait of William Haines Lytle.
