Stanley Horn, The Army of Tennessee, Ltd. 1st ed., Signed

Description

Stanley Horn wrote The Army of Tennessee to shine light on the Confederacy’s ill-starred western army. Horn provides a detailed account in one volume of the army that was born in misfortune at Shiloh and died in disaster at Nashville. His interest in the Battle of Nashville (he wrote another authoritative volume on that battle alone) makes his study of John Bell Hood’s quixotic campaign most valuable.

This is the limited “Tennessee Edition” of Horn’s great history. A predecessor of Thomas Lawrence Connelley’s 2-volume history, Horn’s study is an indispensable resource on the war in the West.

Lightly sunned; else very good. Signed.
