Confederate historiography of the Civil War is rich with stories of
leaders and decision makers-oft-repeated names immortalized by
their association with America's great trial of the 1860s. But
while scholarship exploring the roles of Confederate generals and
politicians abounds, a major part of the story remains untold: that
of the ordinary people who became soldiers and turned the very
pages of Civil War history. Part of the Voices of the Civil War
series, Suffering in the Army of Tennessee doesn't just draw upon
one single diary or letter collection, and it does not use brief
quotations as a way to fill out a larger narrative. Rather, across
eight chapters spanning the Atlanta Campaign to the Battle of
Nashville in 1864, Thrasher draws upon a remarkably broad set of
primary sources-newspapers, manuscripts, archives, diaries, and
official documents-to tell a story that knits together accounts of
senior officers, the final campaigns of the Western Theater, and
the experiences of the civilians and rebel soldiers who found
themselves deep in the trenches of a national reckoning. While
volumes have been written on the Atlanta Campaign or the Battles of
Nashville and Franklin, no previous historian has constructed what
amounts to a sweeping social history of the Army of Tennessee-the
daily details of soldiering and the toll it took on the men and
boys who mustered into service foreseeing only a small skirmish
among the states. While this volume will appeal to Civil War buffs
and military history scholars, its accessible structure and
engaging narrative style will likewise captivate American history
enthusiasts, students, and general readers.
