Customer Rating:
(6 votes)Editorial Review - Product Description
In the summer of 1861, Americans were preoccupied by the question of which states would join the secession movement and which would remain loyal to the Union. This question was most fractious in the border states of Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri. In Missouri, it was largely settled at Wilson's Creek on August 10, 1861, in a contest that is rightly considered the second major battle of the Civil War. In an in-depth narrative and analysis of this important but largely overlooked battle, William Piston and Richard Hatcher combine a traditional military study of the fighting with an innovative social analysis of the soldiers who participated and the communities that supported them.

I found this book in the bookstore at Wilson's Creek and bought it immeadlty. Ed Bearss' narration captures the immediacy of the situation, placing you on the line. This small book will not disappoint the reader there and will convey solid information about the battle. The balance between detail and narration is maintained throughout the book. Neither takes over and we end with a short but very solid history. -
