Customer Review: This tedious account of the Verdun of the Civil War is contradicted by first-person accounts of the period (see,for example, those in "Guide to the Battle of Shiloh" edited by Luvaas, Bowman, & Fullenkamp). Moreover, it is self-contradictory. On page 113, the Confederates burn down two 180-foot... more info
Customer Review: A quite interesting topic, the Army of the Cumberland generally gets only passing attention in most works as its major battles, Stones River and Chickamauga, are covered.

Customer Review: In this review in brief, I'll be taking a look at Larry J. Daniel's Cannoneers In Gray: The Field Artillery of the Army of Tennessee, 1861-1865. Daniel's book seeks to take a look at this neglected arm of a neglected army. In other words, the redlegs of the Army of Tennessee appear to be red-headed... more info
Customer Review: This book was ordered because I have a history with some of the photos in it. As a researcher for my historical body of works in oil, I was given permission to paint photos of this local early day photographer, Alice Snearly. The owner of her glass negatives at the time is a friend of my husband.... more info
