Recommended Reading: Six Armies in Tennessee:
The Chickamauga and Chattanooga
Campaigns (Great Campaigns of the Civil War). Description: When Vicksburg fell to Union forces under General
Grant in July 1863, the balance turned against the Confederacy in the trans-Appalachian theater. The Federal success along
the river opened the way for advances into central and eastern Tennessee, which culminated
in the bloody battle of Chickamauga and then a struggle for Chattanooga. Continued below...
Chickamauga is usually counted as a Confederate victory, albeit a costly one. That battle—indeed the
entire campaign—is marked by muddle and blunders occasionally relieved by strokes of brilliant generalship and high
courage. The campaign ended significant Confederate presence in Tennessee and left the Union poised to advance upon Atlanta
and the Confederacy on the brink of defeat in the western theater.
Recommended Reading: Portals to
Hell: Military Prisons of the Civil War. Description: The military prisons
of the Civil War, which held more than four hundred thousand soldiers and caused the deaths of fifty-six thousand men, have
been nearly forgotten. Lonnie R. Speer has now brought to life the least-known men in the great struggle between
the Union and the Confederacy, using their own words and observations as they endured a true
“hell on earth.” Continued below.
Drawing on scores of previously unpublished firsthand accounts, Portals to Hell presents the prisoners’
experiences in great detail and from an impartial perspective. The first comprehensive study of all major prisons of both
the North and the South, this chronicle analyzes the many complexities of the relationships among prisoners, guards, commandants,
and government leaders. It is available in paperback and hardcover.
