Battle of Perryville Book Review Posted
June 30, 2006 - 17:41
I've just posted my review of Robert P. Broadwater's
The Battle of
Perryville, 1862: Culmination of the Failed Kentucky
Campaign. This is early in the 3rd
Quarter, but it was a fairly short book. Mr.
Broadwater was very kind to answer a few questions
for me to add to the review. Perryville,
1862 is a very nice job, the product of decades
in the making. Having attended the 2002 Perryville
battle re-enactment, I wanted to know more about the
battle and the surrounding events. Broadwater's book
has definitely enhanced my understanding of the Civil
War experience in Kentucky. See my review for the
whole story under the "My CW Book Reviews" button. I
now start on The Longest Raid of the
Civil War by Lester V. Horwitz for
my 4th Quarter review. I'll need the time as the
book is 456 pages. Mr. Horwitz has agreed to be
interviewed as part of my book review.
