George Cary Eggleston was an American novelist, editor, journalist, and writer who lived from 1839 to 1911. He was the brother of Edward Eggleston and the son of Joseph Cary Eggleston and Mary Jane Craig. Eggleston is perhaps best known for his serialized account in The Atlantic Monthly of his experiences as a Confederate soldier during the American Civil War. This work was later collected and expanded into a book titled A Rebel's Recollections, which remains a significant firsthand account of the Civil War period.
