Jack Hurst

Born to Battle (eBook, ePUB)

Grant and Forrest--Shiloh, Vicksburg, and Chattanooga

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Hurst shows how Grant and Forrest brought to the battlefield the fabled virtues of the American working-class: hard work, ingenuity, and intense determination. Each man's background contributed to his triumphs on the battlefield, but the open-mindedness of his fellow commanders proved just as important. When the North embraced Grant, it won a stalwart defender. When the South rejected Forrest, by contrast, it sealed its fate.
