Grant Rises in the West: From Iuka to Vicksburg, 1862-1863

Linoln Finds a General #4

by Kenneth P. Williams, Brooks D. Simpson (Introduction)

In From Iuka to Vicksburg, 1862–1863, Grant leads the Union army to victory. The story of western operations testifies to Grant’s effectiveness. He and his soldiers move through Kentucky, and Tennessee and down the Mississippi Valley during a difficult winter. Ahead is Vicksburg and a turning point in the Civil War. One critic called this volume “probably the most thoroughly documented study of Grant in the West.”
