Abstract

Unlike historian Richard McMurry, whose work minimized the fight's significance, or Gary Ecelbarger, who overreached when he declared the battle "the day Dixie died", Hess concludes that the engagement was important, but hardly decisive (xiv, 313). Notes, index, bibliography.) Earl J. Hess is a remarkably prolific scholar who has produced some of the finest Civil War battle and campaign studies available today. [Extracted from the article]
