An Award-Winning Historian Dramatically Re-Creates a Turning Point
of the Civil War
It was one of the most startling events of the civil war, the "hour
of destiny" for the Union. Faced with the prospect of catastrophic
defeat, the North's greatest generals--Ulysses Grant, William
Tecumseh Sherman, George Thomas, and Phil Sheridan--were commanding
a battle fror the besieged city of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Suddenly, as an aghast Grant and Thomas watched, the beleaguered
federal tropps began a headlong, climactic, seemingly suicidal
charge up the face of a six-hundred-foot-high mountain ridge
overlooking the city, under ferocious fire from the Confederate
infantry that held the ridge.
The siege of Chattanooga and its stuffing turnabout form the core
of Wiley Sword's lively narrative. Dozens of previously unpublished
photographs, maps, and excepts from private journals, and letters
enhance this vivid account. Written with novelistic flair and a
historian's authority, "Mountains Touched with Fire "captures every
side of this crucial Civil War battle whose aftermath sealed the
fate of the South.
