Description
On April 10, 1863, the American Civil war was virtually at its midpoint. It was a day that saw fatal mishaps, tactical blunders, military executions, deadly illness, boredom, terror and acts of great courage. On this day, as on 1458 others, families waited back home, responded to letters from their homesick loved ones, and prayed for an end to a seemingly endless ordeal. Quoting extensively from the personal journals and intimate letters of the troops and their leaders, this study brings the reader deep into the Civil War experience. It tells of daring train raids and lightning-fast cavalry skirmishes, and to the day's biggest clash, the First Battle of Franklin, Tennessee. - from Amzon
