ISBN: 0809306360 ISBN-13: 9780809306367 Publisher: Southern Illinois University Press OUR PRICE: $59.40 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: March 1974 Annotation: Covering the period of Shiloh to the prelude to Vicksburg, Volume 5 of this distinguished series converges on the many dramatic changes taking place in Grant's military career. The bloody two-day battle of Shiloh, the dominating event covered in this volume, shocked both North and South, caused public opinion to run against Grant, placed his career at a low point, and tested his will to remain in service. The period, therefore, is significant for the portrait emerging of Grant meeting a variety of problems ranging from grand strategy to mundane detail. The volume is particu-larly rich also in unpublished letters and documents from some twenty-two institu-tions and nine private collections here opened for the first time. |
