The Battle of the Wilderness in Myth and Memory: Reconsidering Virginia's Most Notorious Civil War Battlefield Hardcover - 2019

by Adam Petty


From the jacket flap

"This book is a significant and welcome departure in Civil War military studies, incorporating environmental history, memory history, and military history. By focusing on the patch of wooded terrain known as the Wilderness in Virginia and analyzing the battles of Chancellorsville, Mine Run, and the Wilderness, it represents a smart combination of approaches to understand one of the more haunting battle grounds of the Civil War. Adam Petty offers new takes on old ideas to create a thoroughly revisionist study."--Earl J. Hess, author of Fighting for Atlanta: Tactics, Terrain, and Trenches in the Civil War
