520 _a"Two Wars: An Autobiography of General Samuel G. French" by Samuel Gibbs French is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book details the life and military career of General French, focusing on his experiences during both the Mexican War and the American Civil War, while also discussing personal anecdotes and reflections related to his family and upbringing. The opening of this autobiography outlines General French's early life, ancestry, and aspirations for military service, beginning with a reflection on the importance of family history. French describes his childhood in New Jersey, the influences that shaped his desire to pursue a military career, and his eventual appointment to West Point. Drawing on vivid memories, he discusses life as a cadet, the friendships he forged, and the significant events leading up to his service in the armies of the United States and the Confederate States. His tone is introspective, establishing a personal connection that invites readers to explore the historical context and importance of the wars he witnessed firsthand.
