Biographies on Florida’s Confederate Generals

 


   Several years ago, I posted a list of North Carolina-born Confederate generals who had biographies written about them. Unfortunately, the list is still rather small. You can check out that post here. Over the next year or so, I thought we might look at other states.

Florida is a little more difficult. Most of the generals associated with the state of Florida came from other places. Only two on this list below, Edmond Kirby Smith and James W. McIntosh, were born in Florida. In contrast, there were four Federal generals born in Florida. If I have missed any book-length biographies on Confederate generals associated with Florida, please drop me a line and let me know, and I will update the list.
