About this title

Review

"Colonel Spruill has over time become one of our best tour guides for Civil War battlefields, and it all started with his Guide to the Battle of Chickamauga back in the 1990s. Now thoroughly updated and revised to assimilate the modern changes to the battlefield as well as the newer scholarship on the battle, this second edition is extremely valuable for a detailed understanding of both the battle and the battlefield."--Timothy B. Smith, author of Shiloh: Conquer or Perish and Grant Invades Tennessee: The 1862 Battles for Forts Henry and Donelson

"This updated guide makes traveling across the landscape on this pivotal battlefield in the Civil War's Western Theater easier and more understandable. One can almost sense the confusion of the unfolding engagement as the contending forces grappled with each other for control of the key elements of this critical ground."--Brian S. Wills, author of George Henry Thomas: As True as Steel
