My favorite articles so far :
the Lew Wallace piece on Ft Donelson. Excellent details on the tactical situation during the battle. He really knows how to turn a phrase.
Col Snead paper on the first year of the war in Missouri. He is quite the clever writer, and seems to have good insight into the on the ground situation. I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of wisdom about major players at the time.
Article by BG Imboden was very informative regarding artillery. esp sizes of guns and results of firing.
Read the article by Albert Sidney Johnson's son, found it very biased but gave some good insight into the battle of Shiloh.… (meer)

The Chronology gets much more scattered in this volume, that also contains a useful index for all four volumes. By now we see this book as a classic of military publication, a very democratic exercise as every famous general got to speak their piece, sometimes creating exercises in politicking and revisionism. Therefore it is an artifact in itself rather than a book of analysis. But a very interesting series to analyse as parts of it are still open to lively debate to this day. Read but keep your antennae out, as there are many traps to fall into.… (meer)
Here we go from Perryville to Chattanooga and Knoxville, with egos a-bristle and ever ready to print four or more sides of any argument, the 1886 version of "the Late Unpleasantness" unrolls further. Gettysburg almost seems to get lost, as other turning points appear, are swathed in controversy, and consigned to the uproar of the ages. This is a primer in military special pleading, and a fertile midway for the ACW buff, . This four volume set has something for everyone.
