Böcker av William L. Shea

Offers a gripping narrative of the events surrounding Prairie Grove, Arkansas, one of the great unsung battles of the US Civil War that effectively ended Confederate offensive operations west of the Mississippi River. William Shea provides a colourful account of a gruelling campaign that lasted five months and covered hundreds of miles of rugged Ozark terrain.

Tells the story of the series of campaigns the Union conducted on land and water to conquer Vicksburg and of the many efforts by the Confederates to break the siege of the fortress.
