Volume two of a two volume set, this collection of essays details the lives and careers of confederate generals and their experiences west of the Appalachians during the Civil War. Each written
in accessible narrative style, the essays explore specific topics in relation to each historical figure and provide relevant maps and photographs. While the first volume in this set presented
essays by historians written mainly around the centennial of the war, this second volume presents current scholarship on the subject from a variety of Civil War historians. This series would be
of interest to Civil War historians, especially those interested in the less often discussed western theater. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
