Victorian America and the Civil War
Like the other books in the series, this is an interesting collection of essays, when they focus on the 1864 Valley campaign. Unfortunately, it also strays off topic, such as Robert K. Krick's essay on the Patton family; it covers every family member in the Confederate army, not just George S. Patton, and his role in the 1864 campaign is restricted to only two paragraphs.
