The Camden Expedition of 1864
by Michael J. Forsyth |
| The Confederacy squandered a great opportunity to turn the
Civil War in its favor in 1864, when because of concerns about other Union
forces coming south from Arkansas, it failed to finish off a Union army cornered
in Louisiana. Unable to agree on a course of action against both threats, the
Confederates were defeated by the Union forces from Arkansas, which saved the
one in Louisiana and became known to history as the Camden Expedition. The book
is full of "might-have-beens". For instance if Frederick Steele,
commander of the VII Federal Army Corp. had not been ordered by General Ulysses
S. Grant to move south, disaster would have befallen not only the Army of the
Gulf in Louisiana, but, the entire Union cause, and Abraham Lincoln might not
have won reelection! 210 pages, indexed. Retail price $39.95 |
