Sanders --Until relatively recently, conventional wisdom held that the Trans-Mississippi Theater was a backwater of the American Civil War. Scholarship in recent decades has corrected this oversight, and a growing number of historians agree that the events west of the Mississippi River proved integral to the outcome of the war. Nevertheless, generals in the Trans-Mississippi have received little attention compared to their eastern counterparts, and many remain mere footnotes to Civil War history. This welcome volume features cutting-edge analyses of eight Southern generals in this most neglectWestern theater in the Civil War.GeneralsConfederate States of AmericaHistoryGeneralsConfederate States of AmericaBiographyCommand of troopsHistory19th centuryMilitary art and scienceConfederate States of AmericaHistoryMississippi River ValleyHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865CampaignsUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865CampaignsElectronic books.GeneralsHistory.GeneralsCommand of troopsHistoryMilitary art and scienceHistory.973.7092/2Hewitt Lawrence L938435Bergeron Arthur W938436Schott Thomas Edwin1943-1029881MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463587103321Confederate generals in the Trans-Mississippi2446526UNINA
