Synopsis

Firsthand look at the Stone River campaign from a veteran officer
This memoir offers a close, on-the-ground view of the Civil War’s Battle of Murfreesboro. It weaves personal recollections with observations on command decisions, weather, and the fatigue of a long engagement.

This edition presents the author’s perspectives on leadership, the movements of units, and the realities of marching, fighting, and retreat under difficult conditions. Readers gain a sense of how plans unfolded, how officers adapted under pressure, and what the terrain and timing meant for the battle’s outcome.

• Ground-level battle details and unit actions on December 31, 1862, and January 1–3, 1863


• Character sketches and opinions of notable commanders, including Rosecrans, Buell, and Bragg


• Insights into decision-making under fire, including retreats, counterattacks, and re-positions


• Rough conditions, weather, and the human toll of a protracted engagement

Ideal for readers of Civil War history who want a military officer’s personal perspective on strategy, logistics, and the realities of wartime leadership.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

proposed to relate what happened to me, and what I observed during the battle alluded to, and might not inappropriately be styled "What I know about the battle of Stone River." In doing so I shall not undertake to give a general account of the battle, but shall confine myself to that portion which came under my own observation, and to necessary inferences as to what happened elsewhere. In setting out it will be well to give a brief account of the history of the Army of the Cumberland, and its commanders, so far as I know, up to the time of the memorable battle which is the subject of this paper. My having been a cadet at West Point from June, 1848, to June, 1852, when I graduated in the same class with Sheridan, Stanly, Slocum, Crook, Bonaparte and others, whose names have since become so distinguished, and my service in the regular army subsequently till the fall of 1853, threw me in contact with, and was the means of my knowing personally, or by reputation, most, if not all the prominent characters on both sides, that were brought to the knowledge of the public by the War of the Rebellion.
