Brigadier General George Willcox McIver's life spanned a time of unparalleled dramatic transformation in American history. A native of Davidson, North Carolina, McIver lived through the Civil War, fought in the Spanish-American War and World War I, and served in posts all across America and Europe over his illustrious forty-year military career. Jonathan Dembo has carefully edited and annotated McIver's original autobiography, published here for the first time.
Historian Dr. Jonathan Dembo, head of the Special Collections Department at East Carolina University's J.Y. Joyner Library, has indexed and annotated McIver's epic memoir and added a wealth of contemporary photographs, maps and letters to set the contribution of this important work in context.
