An engrossing contemporary (1864) history of a Civil War field army from its formation in 1861 at Louisville, Kentucky, to its victories at Chattanooga and Chickamauga in October 1863; its defense, conquest, and occupation of the border states of Kentucky and Tennessee; and its police record of spies and dealings with the civilian population in occupied Tennessee, a mountainous region that supplied the Confederacy with food and controlled important rail lines. Indexed for the first time, it includes exciting accounts of the Army of the Cumberland's expeditions and battles in Kentucky and Tennessee along with a complete description of the army's organization and its leaders.
