It is not too much to say that General Force has compressed into his volume more of the details of the campaigns of which he treats than are contained in any other volume of war history yet issued. His style is plain and condensed. He deals neither in criticisms nor praises, but so far as he covers the ground contents himself with stating the facts as presented in the wide range of reports, both Union and Confederate, which he has evidently studied with care. Contents: Chapter I. Preliminary. Chapter II. Fort Henry. Chapter III.Fort Donelson. Chapter IV.New Madrid And Island Number Ten. Chapter V. The Gathering Of The Forces. Chapter VI. Shiloh—Sunday. Chapter VII. Shiloh—Night, And Monday. Chapter VIII. Corinth.

Book Description

Struggle for the Heartland tells the story surrounding the military campaign that began in early 1862 with the advance to Fort Henry and culminated in late May with the capture of Corinth, Mississippi. The first significant Northern penetration into the Confederate west, this campaign saw the military coming-of-age of Ulysses S. Grant and offered a hint as to where the Federals might win the war. For the South, it dashed any hopes of avoiding a protracted conflict. Stephen D. Engle colors in the details that bring great clarity and new life to the scene of these battles as well as to the social and political context in which they occurred.
