Lowe, Ed A FINE OPPORTUNITY LOST: Longstreet's East Tennessee Campaign, November 1863 - April 1864
James Longstreet, who Robert E. Lee called his 'Old Warhorse,'and most of his First Corps were dispatched to reinforce Braxton Bragg's ill-starred Army of Tennessee in the Western Theater in 1863. Longstreet helped win the decisive victory at Chickamauga and drove the Union Army of the Cumberland back into Chattanooga. For a host of reasons, some military and some political, Bragg dispatched Longstreet and his troops to East Tennessee, where Union commander Ambrose Burnside waited for him. The heavy Confederate presence threatened political turmoil for Federal forces and could cut off Burnside's ability to reinforce Chattanooga. Details how these two old foes from the Virginia theater found themselves transplanted to unfamiliar ground, and the battles that transpired in East Tennessee and Chattanooga. Contains 140 images and seven maps.1 vol, 192 pgs
