| Sommario/riassunto: | 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.

This welcome volume features cutting-edge analyses of eight Southern generals in this most neglect |
