Publisher's Synopsis
This volume examines the controversial role of Major General Lew Wallace at the Battle of Shiloh and offers a vindication of his actions by General Ulysses S. Grant. Henry Beebee Carrington presents a detailed analysis of the events, correspondence, and decisions surrounding Wallaceâ(TM)s movements during the critical engagement.
The book sheds light on the complexities of command during the Civil War and offers insights into the challenges faced by Union officers in the face of battlefield uncertainty. Through careful examination of primary sources, Carrington makes a compelling case for understanding Wallace's conduct, inviting readers to reconsider the traditional narrative surrounding the Battle of Shiloh and the legacies of both Wallace and Grant.
