About This Book

A veteran officer presents first-person recollections of his role and observations during a major Civil War engagement in Tennessee, restricting the account to events within his sight and necessary inferences about other actions. He frames these memories with background on the Army of the Cumberland, recalls West Point connections with fellow officers, and assesses commanders' temperaments and decisions. The narrative mixes tactical description of troop movements and confrontations with anecdotal leadership portraits and commentary on political pressures within the army, offering an eyewitness perspective rather than a full strategic history.
