Banners to the Breeze : The Kentucky Campaign, Corinth, and Stones River Paperback / softback
by Earl J. Hess
Part of the Great Campaigns of the Civil War series
Paperback / softback
Description
Banners to the Breeze analyzes three major Civil War campaigns that were conducted following a series of devastating Confederate defeats at the hands of Ulysses S.
Grant in the spring of 1862. After the recapture of Tennessee, Confederate armies under Braxton Bragg and Edmund Kirby Smith conducted a brilliant advance into the deeply divided state of Kentucky.
Meanwhile, other Confederate forces under Sterling Price and Earl Van Dorn attempted to recapture the town of Corinth, Mississippi.
As the year drew to a close, Bragg’s army was involved in a tactical draw at the battle of Stones River.
Earl J. Hess mixes dramatic narrative and new analysis as he brings these campaigns together in a coherent whole.
Previously unpublished historic photographs of the battlefields are included.
