I apologize for the brevity of this, but I’m digging myself out of a hole and this seems to be the only practical way out. Over the past few months I’ve received five new entries in the Emerging Civil War series from Savas Beatie. Luckily, the titles are all self explanatory, so I’ll give you those, the authors, and links to ordering and other info. Not perfect, but my world is far from that.
“Let Us Die Like Men”: The Battle of Franklin, November 30, 1864, by William Lee White.
“All Hell Can’t Stop Them”: The Battles for Chattanooga: Missionary Ridge and Ringgold, November 24-27, 1863, by David A. Powell.
“Attack at Daylight and Whip Them”: The Battle of Shiloh, April 6-7, 1862, by Gregory A. Mertz.
“The Most Desperate Acts of Gallantry”: George A. Custer in the Civil War, by Daniel T. Davis.
“Call Out the Cadets”: The Battle of New Market, May 15, 1864, by Sarah Kay Bierle
The Emerging Civil War are great series of books for the new student or seasoned veteran.Chris is a great presenter and his book on Chancellorsville gave me a few tidbits of info I didn’t know about while researching other sources on the battle. This I included as small vignettes in my 50 x 80 inch 3/4 Overhead View of the 3 day battle that now is an outdoor teaching display at Chancellorsville. Fredericksburg also has a version for their battlefield on Marye’s Heights outside their visitors center.Check them out of you are passing that way.
