Off to war -- Fort Donelson -- Sojourn in Arkansas -- Arkansas post -- Fighting for Vicksburg -- Prison -- A new start -- Chickamauga -- Chattanooga -- Camp life -- From Dalton to Pickett's Mill -- Stuck in the thickets of north Georgia -- Hood takes command -- The fall of Atlanta -- The interlude -- Flanking Sherman -- Spring Hill and Franklin -- Nashville -- The end of the war.
Summary: John R. Lundberg's compelling new military history chronicles the evolution of Granbury's Texas Brigade, perhaps the most distinguished combat unit in the Confederate Army of Tennessee. Named for its commanding officer, Brigadier General Hiram B. Granbury, the brigade fought tenaciously in the western theater even after Confederate defeat seemed certain. Granbury's Texas Brigade explores the motivations behind the unit's decision to continue to fight, even as it faced demoralizing defeats and Confederate collapse.
