Clifford Dowdey was born in Richmond, Virginia January 23, 1904 and died there May 30, 1979. The Richmond Newspapers, the Richmond Times Dispatch and the Richmond News Leader eulogized him as The Last Confederate. Four of his grandmother’s brothers were Confederate soldiers. He attended Columbia University from 1921-1925. About 1933 he started writing seriously on what eventually would become his first novel "Bugles Blow No More.” He and his wife moved to Richmond, Virginia where he finished the novel and worked thereafter as a writer of historical works and published items in academic journals, such as "The Journal of Southern History". Several of his works were reviewed in "The New York Times." More
