is the second in a three volume series of essays on this campaign of the Civil War. I've reviewed the first volume previously. There are six essays. Topics include Confederate artillery, Union logistics, the behavior of Union Quartermaster General M. C. Meigs and extracts from the diary of a Confederate staff officer. There isn't really an overarching theme.Unlike in the first volume the essays in this one do take advantage of modern secondary sources but there is still quite a bit of original archival research. There are footnotes instead of endnotes. They provide extra information not just citations. Perhaps a little more specialized than what I'm used to but still well worth it. The Civil War is one of those conflicts that I know I should do more in-depth study on.
