Nach der Wahl Abraham Lincolns zum Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten und dem folgenden Austritt mehrerer Südstaaten aus dem Staatenbund sieht sich der 38-jährige Rechtsanwalt Eppa Hunton II. aus Prince William County, Virginia zu Beginn des Jahres 1861 mit der Entscheidung konfrontiert, ob seine Loyalität seinem Land oder seinem Heimatstaat gelten soll. Obgleich er keinen Groll wider die Union hegt, zögert er nicht, sich ganz in den Dienst seines Heimatstaates zu stellen. Als die Legislative Virginias für den 04. Februar 1861 eine außerordentliche Tagung zwecks Abstimmung über eine etwaige Sezession des Staates einberuft, wird Hunton zum Abgeordneten und Wahlmann seines Countys gewählt und spricht sich sogleich entschieden für eine sofortige Sezession aus. Er erhofft sich eine unblutige Spaltung der Union, ist jedoch willens, nötigenfalls für die Unabhängigkeit des Südens zu kämpfen. Als sich der Krieg schließlich als unausweichlich erweist, verschafft Huntons Popularität ihm ein Feldkommando als Colonel der 8th Virginia Infantry. Er kämpft in der Ersten Schlacht von Manassas, trägt wesentlichen Anteil an dem konföderierten Sieg bei Ball's Bluff und übernimmt zeitweise das Kommando über General Picketts Brigade. Die 8th Virginia Infantry kämpft im Laufe des Jahres 1862 in den meisten Schlachten des östlichen Kriegsschauplatzes und als General Robert E. Lee seine Army of Northern Virginia im Juni 1863 nach Pennsylvania führt, verfügt Colonel Huntons Regiment nur noch über 205 Soldaten. Als Bestandteil von Picketts Division nimmt das 8th Virginia an «Pickett's Charge», dem großen konföderierten Sturmangriff am dritten Tag der Schlacht von Gettysburg, teil. Hunton ist aufgrund seiner angeschlagenen körperlichen Verfassung gezwungen, seine Männer zu Pferde in den Angriff zu führen und erleidet eine Verwundung, doch seine Männer gehören zu den wenigen, welche die Verteidigungsstellungen der Unionsarmee erreichen. Für seine Tapferkeit in der Schlacht wird er zum Brigadier-General ernannt und führt seine Brigade durch die Schlacht von Cold Harbor, die Belagerung Petersburgs und General Lees letztlichen Rückzug nach Appomattox Court House, bis die Brigade schließlich am 06. April 1865, drei Tage vor der Kapitulation der Army of Northern Virginia, in der Schlacht von Sayler's Creek umzingelt wird und die Waffen strecken muss. Hunton gerät in Gefangenschaft und verbringt vier Monate gemeinsam mit weiteren gefangenen Generälen in Fort Warren, Massachusetts.

Nach dem Krieg stellt er sein Leben weiterhin in den Dienst seines Heimatstaates und wird zum Kongressabgeordneten und Senator Virginias gewählt.

Auf Drängen seiner Familie beginnt Hunton mit der Niederschrift seiner Memoiren und da er niemals eine Veröffentlichung seiner Erinnerungen erwog, äußert er sich offen, ehrlich und teils meinungsstark über die politischen sowie militärischen Aspekte des Krieges und gewährt Einblick «hinter die Kulissen» der Führungsriege von General Lees Army of Northern Virginia. Seine Perspektive stellt eine wertvolle und erhellende Ergänzung zur Sichtweise der einfachen Soldaten dar und ist als solche ein faszinierendes Zeitzeugendokument.

Ein Anhang der Gefechtsberichte von Huntons Brigade sowie der 8th Virginia Infantry ermöglicht einen aufschlussreichen Vergleich zu Huntons Erinnerungen und stellt eine Ergänzung zu seinen Schilderungen dar.
