Jubals Raid

Posted on by

During the summer of 1864 General Grant was hammering at the gates of Richmond and the Confederacy seemed doomed In a bold and desperate stroke, General Lee countered by sending Jubal A Early and a force of only twelve thousand men toward Washington, D.C After some victories along the way, they crossed the Potomac and caused plenty of confusion and consternation in the capital before retreating Early reportedly said We haven t taken Washington, but we ve scared Abe Lincoln like hell In fact, Lincoln kept cool, but a lot of others on the Union side did not The story of that daring diversion, its losses and gains, is memorably told in Jubal s Raid. Free Read Jubals Raid By Frank E. Vandiver For Kindle ePUB or eBook – kino-fada.fr An interesting side note in history during the Civil War But sections of the book were clunky and seemed to lack thesalient details.I would probably give this book three and a half stars if I could On the one hand, the author does a very good job covering the Confederate side of the campaign, discussing their top commanders, the overview of Early s handling of the raid, etc Howev...A relatively short study of Early s 1864 actions in the Shenandoah Valley and invasion into Maryland This book is fast paced and gets the story covered in just the right amount of pages.
