To the Battles of Franklin and Nashville and Beyond

In two preceding volumes, Benjamin Franklin Cooling offered a sweeping portrayal of war and society in the upper southern heartland of Kentucky and Tennessee during the first two and a half years of the Civil War. This continues that saga as Cooling probes the profound turmoil - on the battlefield, on the home front, within the shadow areas where lawlessness reigned - that defined the war in the region as it ground to its close.
