It has been a bit of a stretch to say some of these emails are on the subject we are to discuss..... I think more than a few of us might be ready to hit the...
Hey all: I'm looking for information on the Middle Creek Campaign on the Big Sandy River (the battle on January 10th, 1862). The campaign was fought between...
Seems all i read about is Johnston bashing. Did anyone read the same history as I did ? Every move Sherman made during the campaign, Johnston was in his path....
I am a musician in high school and i am a bugler in reenacting. The musician during the war is hardly ever covered. In the early stages of the was musicians...

good point... in fact you might not be able to point to any defeat OR victory in the civil war where you would find the plan was executed perfectly ... at...
I have followed with great interest the several emails about Johnston and how some compared him with Lee. Some time back, in a chatroom, I became good friends...
Amen! these irreplaceable troops were sacrificed out of stupidity (just noticed johnston's name misspelled in subject title and changed it!) ... On Thu, 18 Jan...
Yes, Johnston bashing has been quite fashionable for the last 30 years or so. More so recently. Yet, that is beginning to change. Steven Newton has written...
Good Evening CWWTers, As I review the posts being made to this group I am constantly reminded of just how ignorant I am of the details of the war in the west....
Andrew, why should you be flamed for thinking that Hood was a better choice than Johnston? We know that he wasn't only by hindsight. Then, I would have opted...
Hi...this is a post from a new member. Just doing some genealogy tracking...and heard this was a genial & knowledeable group. Recently I've been trying to find...
I just read parts of a three-volume collection of Civil War writings. In it, Grant stated how, at the Battle of Chattanooga, he had sent Baird's division from...
Dear Group- Although Chickamauga has always been the battle that I have found most interesting, due to distance I have not been able to visit it as much as I...

I have been studying up on the tactics of several western battles. I am not a military person. But I can easily see that what Grant was doing by means of...
I find this perspective fascinating. In August 1864 Lincoln himself did not see how he could win the election in November. There were draft riots in the New...

I have not been able to come up with a suitable answer as to why so much cotton, which was useable to the southern armies, was burned by Generals Taylor and...
