Decisions at Perryville
Lawrence K. Peterson
The largest battle fought in Kentucky during the American Civil War occurred at a small, crossroads town named Perryville. As Gen. Braxton Bragg’s Confederate Heartland Offensive sputtered through Kentucky, Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell’s reformed Army of the Ohio pursued the Army of the Mississippi and clashed with its rearguard just outside Perryville. Believing that he faced only a part of Buell’s army, Bragg ordered an assault on the Union left flank which resulted in Confederate victory. However, that evening Bragg determined the Army of the Ohio outnumbered him three to one and quickly decided to retreat. Outmanned, outmaneuvered, and lacking supplies and reinforcements, Bragg retreated through the Cumberland Gap into East Tennessee, and Kentucky remained in Union control for the rest of the Civil War.Decisions at Perryville explores the critical decisions made by Confederate and Union commanders during the battle and how these decisions shaped its outcome. Rather than offering a history of the battle, Larry Peterson hones in on a sequence of critical decisions made by commanders on both sides of the contest to provide a blueprint of the Battle of Perryville at its tactical core. Identifying and exploring the critical decisions in this way allows students of the battle to progress from a knowledge of what happened to a mature grasp of why events happened.Complete with maps and a driving tour, Decisions at Perryville is an indispensable primer, and readers looking for a concise introduction to the battle can tour this sacred ground—or read about it at their leisure—with key insights into the campaign and a deeper understanding of the Civil War itself.Decisions at Perryville is the eleventh in a series of books that will explore the critical decisions of major campaigns and battles of the Civil War.

Port Hudson
Lawrence Lee Hewitt
Lawrence Lee Hewitt, former manager of the Port Hudson State Historic Site, musters four decades of research in Port Hudson’s vast photographic record to present a landmark work of Civil War history. This volume showcases the work of six pioneering cameramen. Besides many stunning “firsts” in the medium—like the first-ever photograph of soldiers engaged in battle, first exterior shots at night, first “composition print,” and even the first and only known photograph of a Confederate army surrendering—these photographers turned an appreciative eye on a cotton gin, a grist mill, and a Methodist church, all included here and showing signs of damage. Hewitt presents their photos chronologically, allowing readers to follow changes in the landscape itself during and after the siege. Biographies of the photographers and substantive captions also brim with fresh information about the photographs and the campaign. Though Port Hudson may never receive the level of attention of Gettysburg or Vicksburg, this well-conceived collection stands as testament to the importance of that conflict and of the Civil War’s photographic record itself.
