Description: The CraterBurnside's Assault on the Confederate Trenches, June 30, 1864John CannanA spectacular early morning underground explosion followed by bloody hand-to-hand combat and unprecedented command malfeasance makes the story of the Crater one of the most riveting in Civil War history. Da Capo's new "Battleground America" series offers a unique approach to the battles and battlefields of America. Each book in the series highlights a small American battlefield-sometimes a small portion of a much larger battlefield-and tells the story of the brave soldiers who fought there. Using soldiers' memoirs, letters and diaries, as well as contemporary illustrations, the human ordeal of battle comes to life on the page.All of the units, important individuals, and actions of each engagement on the battlefield are described in a clear and concise narrative. Detailed maps complement the text and illustrate small unit action at each stage of the battle. Then-and-now photographs tie the dramatic events of the past to the modern battlefield site and highlight the importance of terrain in battle. The present-day historical site of the battle is described in detail with suggestions for touring.Series: Battleground America GuidesPaperback: 144 pagesPublisher: Da Capo Press; Revised ed. edition (October 22, 2002)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 0306811529ISBN-13: 9780306811524Product Dimensions: 5.5 x 0.4 x 8.5 inches
