Tarih
“More than yet another drums and bugles account of a Civil War battle … Smith and Sokolosky fully understand the importance of logistics in warfare. ” —The Civil War Monitor
The Battle of Wise’s (Wyse) Forks, March 7–11, 1865, has long been thought of as nothing more than an insignificant skirmish during the final days of the Civil War and relegated to a passing reference in a footnote if it is mentioned at all. Mark A. Smith’s and Wade Sokolosky’s “To Prepare for Sherman’s Coming” erases this misconception and elevates this combat and its related operations to the historical status it deserves.
By March 1865, the Confederacy was on its last legs. Gen. William T. Sherman was operating with nearly complete freedom in North Carolina on his way north to form a junction with Union forces in Virginia. To divert troops away from Sherman, Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston executed a bold but risky plan. The Confederates stood for four days and successfully halted advancing Union troops at Wise’s Forks. This delay provided Johnston with the precious time he needed to concentrate his forces and fight the large and important Battle of Bentonville.
“The clear and crisp writing, supplemented with original maps, photos, and wonderful research, means this book deserves a place on the bookshelf of any student of the Carolinas Campaign. ” —Eric J. Wittenberg, award-winning Civil War historian and author of Holding the Line on the River of Death
“ ‘To Prepare for Sherman’s Coming’ will remain the definitive work on the battle for many years to come. ” —Mark L. Bradley, author of Bluecoats & Tar Heels
