The Confederate armies included in their ranks a remarkable range of nationalities—among them Germans, Irish, Italians, French, Poles, Mexicans, Cubans, Hungarians, Russians, Swedes, Danes, and Chinese. Covering the complete story of the activities of the foreigners in the Confederacy—in both military and civil service—this book recognizes their many contributions to the cause of the South. First published in 1940, it remains the only work on the subject.
