The Red River Campaign in the spring of 1864 was one of the most
destructive of the Civil War. The agricultural wealth of the Red
River Valley tempted Union General Nathaniel P. Banks to invade
with 30,000 troops in an attempt to seize control of the river and
confiscate as much cotton as possible from local plantations. After
three months of chaos, during which the countryside was destroyed
and many slaves freed themselves, Banks was defeated by a smaller
Confederate force under General Richard Taylor. This book takes a
fresh look at the fierce battles at Mansfield and Pleasant Hill,
the Union army's escape from Monett's Ferry and the burning of
Alexandria, and explains the causes and consequences of the war in
Central Louisiana.
