Any Cave relative that wants to read the details of the Southern thinking about the Civil War should read this book. Robert Catlett Cave was a very literate person and presents the case very well.

One of the Virginia papers said: "It is a speech from which nothing can be taken and to which nothing can be added without injury. . . . It is a concise but clear statement of the causes that led up to the war and an accurate pen picture of the private solidier such as we know him to have been." ----- Cave, a Confederate veteran, has delivered a masterful defense of the South and a well-documented case for Cavalier Loyalty versus Puritan Disloyalty. Like A Southern View, The Men in Gray is required reading for anyone seeking the truth about the War Between the States. "Their Spirits were victorious, their bodies only fainted and failed." ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
