General Thomas at Nashville (Expanded, Annotated)

By Henry V. Boynton

Methodical, courageous, calm, and clear thinking in battle, General George Thomas was one of the top Union commanders to serve in the American Civil War. Known as "The Rock of Chickamauga," Thomas' contributions to many Union victories is well established.

So why, decades after his death, were analysts still debating whether Thomas was too slow in the Nashville Campaign of 1864?

In this concise, insightful treatment, Brigadier-General Henry Boynton makes clear the case that Thomas was NOT slow at Nashville. While Grant and other commanders at City Point were gnashing their teeth in "sickening anxiety," Thomas was holding his own in horrific weather conditions, readying his troops to fight.

In the closing days of the conflict that nearly destroyed the nation, General Thomas provided the necessary leadership and skill in a vital campaign. This book will show you how he did it.
