This review is from: Soldiering in the Army of Tennessee: A Portrait of Life in a Confederate Army (Hardcover)

Finally, A book that goes into detail on the soldiers of the Army of Tennessee. This books quotes from diaries and letters from the Soldiers themselves. This is a true treasure!! I would also suggest The Army of the Heartland and Autumn of Glory by Thomas Connelly in addtion to this book. Both of these detail the Army of Tennessee from its founding until its surrender in Bentonville NC in 1865. I highly reccomend this book!!

Mr. Daniel's book is a great place to start if you have an interest in the Confederate Army of Tennessee. It's a soldier's point of view of all things military. To fully understand this interesting army you will still need to go to Thomas Connelly's masterful "Army of The Heartland" and "Autumn of Glory", but start here. If you've already read Connelly then this book is a great compliment to those works.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Grain of Salt, January 19, 2009

Lincoln Man "Taterbug" (Fayetteville, TN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soldiering in the Army of Tennessee: A Portrait of Life in a Confederate Army (Paperback)

The author, in an effort to produce a book from a different viewpoint, mines data on a subject which has already been extensively documented in narrative formats. The book is scholarly but relies on data that is suspect and sketchy. The conclusions drawn do not always track throughout the book. The book also draws conclusions differing from the large body of narrative works on soldiering in the Western Armies. If you enjoy analysing data, this book may interest you but overall should be taken with a grain of salt.
