The Chickamauga Campaign

[James S.]

Came across this book. Due out in June. The Chickamauga Campaign - A Mad Irregular Battle: From the Crossing of Tennessee River Through the First Day, August 22 - September 19, 1863 by David Powell. This sounds like a good one as the only other book on Chickamauga I know of is This Terrible Sound by Peter Cozzens.

Thanks for posting.

A two volume set? Now I really want it. This sounds like it may be the book on the Chickamauga Campaign for many years to come.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm looking forward to reading the book.

You're welcome. I'm always on the lookout for new books, much to my wife's despair...

I haven't read it yet, but I've heard that Bushwhacking on a Grand Scale: The Battle of Chickamauga, September 18-20, 1863 by Chickamauga Park Ranger William Lee White is suppose to be pretty good, very recent as well.

Bushwacking is a short overall book of the battle with author White really believing that the battle started on the 18th.it is a worthwile addition to ones library

Thanks for this. This is one book I didn't know about.

Great news indeed! Our reading group recently discussed Cozzen's book. I was going to re-read more slowly, using Powell's map book on the battle. Will wait now. Maybe the set will make the battle less.......confusing.

chickamauqa will always be confusing,as it was the soldiers battle not the officers

I have this book and really enjoy it. Been looking forward to Powell's multi-volume set on Chickamauga as well for some time. So release date is June on that? Bah! I wish it was sooner.
