WELCOME TO:
The
Brigadier General Evander McIver Law Homepage
Born August 7, 1836
Died October 31, 1920
General Law died on Halloween 1920 but his life and his service are shrouded in mystery. Some of his personal papers have been a recent source of controversy and this webpage is dedicated to his life and service in within the Confederate Army. I want the reader to note that I do not hold a PhD in History. However, I am a high school history teacher with a bachelors degrees in History, Political Science and Social Studies Education. Thank you Bowling Green State University for providing me with the best history education in the country!! So I am no slouch and I am confident that I can provide an open-minded reader with enough information and insight to arouse their interest. I try to read and learn about every aspect of the Civil War that I can and I feel that first-hand accounts are vital to our understanding of the conflict. Law was major player during the battle of Gettysburg because he took over for Major General John Bell Hood when Hood was wounded. Therefore it was Law who commanded one of Robert E. Lee's key divisions on the attack on the Union left on July 2, 1863. More on this later!! Hopefully this website will catch your interest and if you wish to contact me, have something you wish to add to this webpage or want to chat about General Law please email me at the address below. I love the Civil War and I invite discussion about that as well.
