Longstreet East Tennessee Bus Tour - Dec. 1863 - Feb 1864

Campaign to Nowhere by David C Smith is probably the best source for these battles. Recommend by the guys who led the Tour.

Smith. Like the members of the Longstreet Museum who led the Tour, are local Historians. Smith is a relic hunter. Got releases from 245, as I remember land owners. He did this in the 1980s before a lot of this area was spoiled. So, he walked the ground. Used the ORs, diaries and Regimental histories to figure this stuff out. He covers all of the engagements of the Tour.

Battle of Bean’s Station by Donald Sheridan was also recommended to me. 200 page volume about the history of Beans Station. Only book length source about Bean Station I found, if you are interested in Beans Station, it is a good read.

I also picked up Grumble, The W.E. Jones Brigade 1863-64. Grumble was the most able Calvary commanded during the campaign. Also was active in the Clinch River Valley and Lee County Va. only 150 pp or so.
Have these. Always looking for new sources. Thanks
