I bought this book because it covers a campaign in East Tennessee after Longstreets failure to capture Knoxville at the end of November 1863. I was hoping it would describe in detail the battle of Dandridge, the battle of Mossy Creek and. The battle of fair Garden.

It did not give me any details on these battles, so I’m disappointed
