Hell by the Acre, a book review
« on: April 14, 2025, 08:05:33 PM »
Recently read this new history of the Stones River Campaign: https://corlearshookfencibles.blogspot.com/2025/04/hell-by-acre-book-about-stones-river.html

If you're looking for a deep dive into this 1862-63 battle between Rosecrans and Bragg, this is for you.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Yeah I heard a discussion with the author on a podcast recently (District No. 2 Western Theatre Podcast maybe?). Sounds like a brilliant book.

Here's their Western Theatre Book recommendations:Some good stuff here too!https://www.westerntheatercivilwar.com/books
Sorry it was Emerging Civil War interview with author Dan Masters.
