Member Review Chickamauga

[Buddy1989]

Hi! Does anyone have suggestions on book about Chickamauga?

I bought this yesterday at Half Price Books.

Have not cracked it yet- but one big criticism is the OOB does not break down brigades into regiments.

Definitely the comprehensive and detailed work for me on Chickamauga is:

'This Terrible Sound' by Peter Cozzens (paperback - 675 pages)

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I'll be looking into all of these.

I like that one as well.

I have read all of the books suggested and think all have their merits. Powell's three volume set is the most detailed. IMO it is well written with good quality maps to follow the action, but you are looking at about 1800 pages (on Kindle) and a considerable investment of time. Either of the other two will give you a good sense of the battle in fewer pages.
