This is the first biography of Union General William S. Rosecrans
in more than fifty years. It tells the story of his military
successes and the important results that led to the Union victory
in the Civil War: winning the first major campaign of the war in
West Virginia in 1861; victories in northeastern Mississippi that
made the Vicksburg Campaign possible; gaining the victory without
which Abraham Lincoln said the ""nation could scarcely have lived
over""; conducting two brilliant campaigns in Tennessee and
fighting the battle of Chickamauga (giving permanent possession of
Chattanooga to the federals); defending Missouri from an invasion
in 1864. The book also attempts to explain why Rosecrans was
removed four times despite his military successes and examines the
important part politics played in the war. Additionally it reveals
a man who promoted many advances in medical care, transportation
and cartography; a man interested in engineering as well as
theology.
