"No Such Army Since the Days of Julius Caesar": Sherman’s Carolinas Campaign from Fayetteville to Averasboro, March 1865

"...meticulously reconstructs the entire campaign, enriched with a handful of black-and-white maps and photographs, appendices, and an index for quick and easy reference. Highly recommended, especially for public and college library Civil War collections.” -Midwest Book ReviewGeneral William T.

It includes new original maps, orders of battle, abundant illustrations, and a detailed driving and walking tour for dedicated battlefield enthusiasts. Readers with an interest in the Carolinas, Generals Sherman and Johnston, or the Civil War in general will enjoy this book. Read more
