The Civil War In North Carolina John G. Barrett
Item #: AA1886
This book examines the eleven battles and 73 skirmishes fought in North Carolina during the Civil War. It was written by John G Barrett, published in 1963, the narrative is 392 pages and is illustrated with black and white drawings. Although the number of men involved in these engagements was comparatively small, the campaigns and battles themselves were crucial in the grand strategy of the conflict and involved some of the most famous generals of the war. John Barrett presents the complete story of military engagements across the state, including the classic pitched battle of Bentonville, the siege of Fort Fisher, the amphibious campaigns on the coast and cavalry sweeps such as Stoneman's raid. From and through North Carolina, men and supplies went to Lee's army in Virginia, making the Tar Heel state critical to Lee's ability to remain in the field during the closing months of the war, when the Union had cut off the West and Gulf South. This dependence upon North Carolina led to Stoneman's Cavalry raid and Sherman's march through the state in 1865, the latter of which brought the horrors of total war and eventual defeat. The dust jacket is present but shows wear and a couple of tears.
