James Pula’s Under the Crescent Moon with the XI Corps in the Civil War Volume 2 From Gettysburg to Victory, 1863 – 1865, picks up after the Battle of Chancellorsville, where Volume 1 left off. You get:
- 323 pages if narrative in 21 chapters. Note that 299 pages of the narrative take us to the relief of Knoxville in December 1863, after which the 11th and 12th corps, after which the 11th (that’s right, they didn’t use Roman numerals for corps designation back in the day) and 12th corps were consolidated into the new 20th corps.
- Addendums for 11th Corps numbers and losses at Gettysburg.
- Addendum with 11th Corps order of battle for Chattanooga.
- Addendum listing 11th Corps Medal of Honor Awardees.
- Bottom of page footnotes.
- Bibliography (numerous archival sources were consulted).
- Full index
- Five maps – an improvement over Volume 1, but I need more.
