Book excerpt: Few students of the Civil War know that legendary historian Edwin C. Bearss produced a classic study on the little-known but significant Tupelo Campaign. The fighting in Mississippi was overshadowed by Nathan Bedford Forrest’s more spectacular victory at Brice’s Crossroads a month earlier. Bearss performed the research and writing for the Department of the Interior in 1969, and only a handful of softcover copies were circulated. It is published here for the first time, with the assistance of award-winning author David A. Powell, as Outwitting Forrest: The Tupelo Campaign in Mississippi, June 22–July 23, 1864. The engagement came about when Maj. Gen. A. J. Smith marched a Federal expeditionary force (his XVI Army Corps) into northern Mississippi in early July 1864. The thrust forced a response, the largest of which was delivered by the combined Confederate cavalry of Stephen D. Lee (who was in general command) and Forrest. The tactical result was a Union defensive success. The larger Confederate strategic play, however—one that might have impacted the course of the war in the Western Theater—would have been to unleash Forrest on a raid into Middle Tennessee to destroy the single line of railroad track feeding and supplying the Union armies of William T. Sherman in his ongoing operations around Atlanta. Instead, his troopers were contained within the Magnolia State, where his combat effectiveness was severely curtailed. Editor Powell has left Bearss’s prose and notes intact, while adding additional sources and commentary of his own. The result is an exceptional study that has finally been made available to the general reading public as part of the Savas Beatie Battles & Leaders Series.

Download or read book The Struggle for Tennessee written by James H Street and published by eNet Press. This book was released on 2015-01-16 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Lee's Army of Northern Virginia dueled the Army of the Potomac, other Union and Confederate armies were struggling for control of Tennessee. Using eyewitness testimony, profiles of key personalities, period photographs, illustrations and artifacts, and detailed battle maps, author James Street has written an outstanding account of this lesser known chapter of Civil War history. The struggle for Tennessee was a war of maneuvers that began in April 1862 and ended on January 1863 with the Stones River Campaign. Of the major battles of the Civil War, Stones River had the highest percentage of casualties on both sides. Although the battle itself was inconclusive, the Union Army's repulse of two Confederate attacks and the subsequent Confederate withdrawal were a much-needed boost to Union morale after the defeat at the Battle of Fredericksburg, and it dashed Confederate aspirations for control of Middle Tennessee. The Struggle for Tennessee: Tupelo to Stones River is the second of the volumes in the Time-Life Civil War series, published in 1985, dealing with the Western Theater of the war after the Battle of Shiloh. All readers interested in the history of the Civil War will be captivated by this superbly written and carefully researched account.
