About this book
A brigade commander watches a planned river crossing give way to an urgent order to support a collapsing line. Milo S. Hascall recalls the Battle of Stone River through the events he witnessed and the decisions he understood at the time. Presented as a paper in Chicago in 1889, his account combines personal memory, assessments of senior officers and passages from his official report of January 1863.
Hascall begins with his military education and earlier acquaintances, then traces disputes surrounding command of the Army of the Cumberland. His report brings the focus to December 31, 1862, when firing on the right grows closer as his brigade prepares to cross the river near Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The writing offers readers of Civil War history a participant’s perspective on battlefield confusion and command, with firm opinions that help reveal how one officer remembered the campaign.
