Series Editors, Steven E. Woodworth and Charles D. Grear
Many historians now believe that the Civil War was decided in the Western Theater, the immense and varied landscape west of the Appalachians. Yet scholarship has traditionally focused on the Eastern Theater of the war.
Civil War Campaigns in the West aims to resolve this imbalance and spark further investigation of the often overlooked Western Theater. Each of the theater’s major campaigns—from Shiloh to Vicksburg and Chickamauga to Mobile—is examined in its own volume, with multiple volumes on Vicksburg and the Atlanta Campaign. In the essays, both established and new historians probe previously unexplored facets of each campaign. From analyzing tactics and measuring the impact of the campaigns on civilians to scrutinizing commanders and their relationships, this exciting series provides readers with an in-depth exploration of the Western Theater.
