List of characters
General Robert E. Lee-The Confederacy. Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia or the Confederate Army. At the age of 57, Lee became one of the most famous and revered men in the South. He led his army through a series of victories. During the Battle of Gettysburg, Lee had heart problems and eventually died of heart disease in 1870. In her preface, Shaara writes that Lee is "a man in control of the situation." He does not lose patience and faith. He absolutely believes in God. Most of all, he loves Virginia, the mystical filth of the house. He is the most beloved person in any army."
General James Longstreet-The Confederacy. Lee is second in command and, after Stonewall Jackson's death, his most important general. At forty-two, Longstreet is slow and rude. He is aware of the new nature of warfare, and he knows that military tactics must change with new technology. He is very stubborn, but he has a lot of respect for Robert E. Lee, and he ultimately obeys his commander's judgment, albeit without much argument. All three of his children were killed by fever in the winter before the Battle of Gettysburg. This loss plunged the usually cheerful Longstreet into depression.
Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain- Union. Thirty-four years old, Chamberlain left his home in Maine and a comfortable position as a professor at Bowdoin College to start a war. He's a colonel in the twentieth Maine Infantry. He was an excellent student at school, speaks seven languages and has a wonderful singing voice, but all his life he wanted to become a soldier. He lied to Bowdoin and told them he was going on vacation to France because they wouldn't let him go to war. He is an intellectual, prone to thoughtfulness and poetic thoughts.
General John Buford- Union. A cavalry commander, Buford hails from the Great Plains of the Midwest and dislikes the tame and political Orient. He has an eye to find the best place on the battlefield. He was given two brigades and ordered to monitor the movements of the Confederate Army.
Arthur Fremantle is an Englishman sent to observe the actions of the Confederate Army. Many in the Confederation hope that England will come to their aid, as the South still carries many traditional aspects of English society, especially in its class structure.
But realists like Lee and Longstreet know that England will never help the Confederacy as long as it supports slavery. Fremantle is tall and thin and reminds Longstreet of Ichabod Crane. Fremantle is alarmed by the rude manners of many of the soldiers, but he is also struck by how much the Southerners resemble the British.
